Anniversary cat

Hubby and I just celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary

and I made him this card...

 I used a new die that I got recently (Cat in a circle) 

I had to cut a slightly bigger circle myself out of the kraft card, which 

was a bit tricky, but inking the edge a bit helped it look neater (Top tip!) 

The die actually has a butterfly on the circle too, but 

I didn't want that on this card for Hubby.

I stamped the little hearts 

on a cute backing paper, and... notice there are 18!

Some, I coloured white, some black and some, I used my gold stickles on. 

The 18 is die-cut from some small numbers I have.

I bought the sentiment stamps on a car boot sale and have used them on this card.

The two paw prints symbolize our 2 cats. 

Hubby loved it.  😊

Have a Llama-zing birthday!

This month, I used Pattie's imge 

"Linda the diva llama"

to create a friend for a friend of mine, who loves animals 

and visiting the zoo with his children. 

 I wanted to keep this quite clean and simple for my friend. 

I coloured the image with my promarkers and other alcohol pens ,using

a white jellipen to make the white fur textured lines. 

I have printed out and coloured the glasses again and popped them on 3d foam

with a little glossy accents on the black, to make the glasses shine. 

The sentiment was computer generated, as I printed off the llama. 

I dry-embossed the edges of the white card and inked along them.

I also made another version of this card for a female friend:
