Hello dear blog visitors!

Cats and dogs!

you can still participate and have a chance to win.

Read the rules please.

Now for the explanation of this card.

I used:

CV White cat.

CV daisies in my hair.

LCD Flowers in 3 sizes.

The stencil I used is from Studio Light, Floral pattern.

The ink is Distress Oxide, Picked raspberry and Wilted violet.

And versafine onyx black.

A little flower punch for the little daisies.

Color pencils or markers.

I inked up the stencil and sprayed with water, 

than printed it on de upperpart of the paper.

ain the bottem part I stamped the words.

I made the bottom part with the stencil and an ink blender.

Stamped a lot of daissies and cut them out.

Colored the white cat and glued it on.

Did the same with the daisies.

Punched the little daissies and glued them on stencil patern.

Mat with a black background.

Dont forget the little daissies on the white cats head.

So we would love to see your cats and dogs in the challenge.

So join and maybe you will be the next winner.
