The digi
pack we were given this month is Kitty in Flowers which has this
cute kitty in a flowerpot and some great sentiments. I love the banner but the
colours were not right for this project. However, I am sure I will be using it
for something else J
The image
is coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers. I used the Meow sentiment and
coloured the little flowers with a red glitter gel pen.
The card
base is a patterned one from DCWV. I am having a huge sort out of my Craft Room
as it is tiny and overflowing. I came across a box which had loads of card
blanks in there and I am putting everything in rainbow colour order and when I
saw this one I knew it would be perfect. This image was coloured a few weeks
ago and If I had made this card then I wouldn’t have found the card blank would
I? Things happen for a reason J
I cut the
image out with my trusty Fiskars embroidery scissors and added it to the card
raised on thin 3d foam squares. The sentiment was cut with as Quickutz Cookie
Cutter die. The lush ribbon is from my recent win from Really Reasonable
Ribbon. I added some paper flowers with brad centres and called it done.
I am very
late adding my card as we have had the unfortunate event of my Husband’s 101
Year old Grandma passing away. She would have loved the bright colours in this
card and I am going to miss making cards for her. She really loved the amount
of work I put into them for her and saved all the cards she was given for me so
that I could cut them up and recycle elements from them. She passed away a week
on Friday and we have only had the death certificate today so can now start the
funeral plans. It’s very sad that she
has passed but you can’t be too sad for a lady who lived to her grand age and
still had all her marbles. She suffered for only the last few days so not a bad
end when all is said and done. Paul is very upset as she has been there all his
45 years but I tell him he is lucky, most people his age would not have a
Grandparent still alive for so many years. Doesn’t make it any easier though I
guess. I say many years of happy memories should last him for his whole life. My
If you
don’t already participate in Kris’s challenges you don’t know what you are
missing. There will be a new one starting tomorrow so why don’t you head on
over there. Hopefully I won’t be adding mine so late next month……..

Hi Mandy! Love your card and the pretty Fall color scheme!! Sorry to hear of your husband's grandma passing away... I'm sure that's gotta be hard to not have her around when you're so used to having her. But that's great that she was so healthy for so long. I am younger than your hubby and it's been... 25 years since I've had a grandparent. I wish I had more time with them. You and hubby are blessed. Praying for you guys as you make funeral plans. Hugs!!
Sorry to hear your sad news, love the card though the little kitty is uber cute xx
