That gave me some grief as cat stamps etc. are waaay down on my wish list of crafting goodies - then I found a LOTV freebie image which came with a magazine a while back:
I used:
- 6" x 6" scalloped square white card stock- Craftwork Cards
- free LOTV image with a craft magazine, coloured with Pro Markers and some Stickles on the 'bubbly'
- patterned card from First Edition 'Bird Song' stack. The lacy trimming was punched using a Martha Stewart favourite
- Core'dinations card in a sort of magenta colour :)
- 'Meow' pink ribbon from stash - bought from Hobbycraft, or my local haberdashery store - no flouncy bow as said friend isn't into bows that much
- Pauline's name spelled out on Card Candi - using a really cheap alphabetic set from The Range the other week (99p!!). It works OK as an experiment and saved me buying an expensive one from Craftwork Cards until I knew roughly if it would work OK
- pink pearls from stash along the lacy edging, which I think could be OTT and might removed before handing over the card :)
I hopped round with it yesterday afternoon and it's a hit, and the little pink pearls were especially liked - yay!!
Remember, tomorrow is the Roll Call for the Snippets Playground - I could be burning the midnight oil!

ReplyDeleteVery cute card Di, really like the name on the candi, you must have been sneaking a peek on my desk as I've been having a play with alpha stamps and candi this week too. Take care, Lyn x

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card Di, I love cats so this is right up my street!
ReplyDeleteI have just entered the playground, a bit late as I tripped over my shoelaces, sorry ;-)
Have a lovely weekend xx
I love this cat card (even though I'm like you on the chickens/dogs front) . . . but this is PURR-FECT (sorry, couldn't resist it) for a cat lover! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Di, this is a lovely card, so sweet.

Well I adore cats and I love this card!!!
ReplyDeletenice card, my house is a bit like that too
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, I am sure your friend will love it, Love her name on the candi as well. Great!!!
ReplyDeleteOh how purrfect is that card - any cat lover (me included!) would love a Thomas card, he's so cute with his little mouse friend! It's not OTT, just right I think!
ReplyDeleteHello Di, now I'm a self-confessed cat lover, as The Boss would attest if you meowed her, so this card is right up my street ... however, the EM draws the line at the number of cat shaped bits and bobs that are given house room :) Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteFabulous card for a cat lover and you see, she loved it all, as I do.
ReplyDeleteWon't go into my views on animals.
But looked up 'stash' in the dicctionary and 2 definitions are - secret store and hiding place. NOw I did like your POB idea, and on those lines I thought of OP's - old purchases. Secret store is quite good as we all have those, hidden from our other halves.
Jury is out, let me know your choice.

Aww cute card Di. Hugs Jenny x
ReplyDeleteDi, the little alpha's on the ribbon card are some beads that I have had in my stash for a number of years. The card candy was a wee bit big, but I will be showing it on future cards as I was very pleased with how it came out. Take care, Lyn x
ReplyDeleteHi Di
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card for a cat lover .. .. bonus to find a freebie cat image in your collection and the ribbon is just perfect alongside.
I actually think the pink pearls finish it all off beautifully.
Love Jules xx
It's another of your fabulous creations Di, and the pearls are great too! your friend will just love this and the colouring is okay also another great take:)
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely purrrr-fect! Sorry, couldn't resist! I think everything works together really well, and I really like the pink pearls too!
