Animal Theme

 The Allsorts Challenge theme this time is **anything goes with an option to include four legged friends (domestic)**.  I've chosen to use a quirky cat stamp for this fairly quick and simple card. The cats were stamped onto a piece of watercolour paper which had been 'Brusho'd' followed by a bit of partial colouring done with pencils.  A strip of the left over paper was punched to look as if it had been torn from a notebook and everything was popped onto a piece of script paper.

Stamp - Trilby Cats from Crafty Individuals
Sentiment - stamp and die from Sizzix, years old
Colour - Brusho and Polychromos pencils
Punch - from EK Success, also an old one

Stamping Sensations March Challenge

 There is a new challenge on the Stamping Sensations site and this time the theme is **anything stamped with an option of wings/tails**.  It so happened I'd stamped and coloured these owls yesterday and they were sitting patiently waiting to be made into a card.  I had this landscape designer paper handy and decided to die cut some tree trunks.  The leafy areas of the trees were also die cut from scraps of white card after I'd randomly stamped leafy texture in various shades of green.  There were no dies with the owl stamps so these were fussy cut.  Great inspiration from the Design Team and  a lovely prize for the person lucky enough to be drawn at the end of the month.
