Cat Lovers Hop: Leopard Jungle


I am having trouble with Blogger. 
I'm sorry, but I cannot comment on blogs that only allow Google account users to leave comments without moderation. I have no idea why and any suggestions are most welcome!

Hello!

I'm so excited that the Cat Lover's Blog Hop is here! I love seeing everyone's feline creations and hearing about their kitty escapades!

Janis at Her Peaceful Garden hosts the blog hop and this is the fourth one! A tremendous amount of work goes into the preparations for the hop, and we are so grateful for the time and effort she spends to make this hop a highlight of the crafting year!

 Janis has outdone herself this year with a stunning line up of 28 sponsors offering generous prizes. Janis will also host daily games and we will have tons of fun getting to know each other. I hope you'll come along and play - you don't even need a blog to be part of the fun!

So ... on to business. This year I treated myself to three sets of Laurel Burch cat stamps from Stampendous.

Here is my first card:


Yes... I've started with the big cats - this set is called Leopard Jungle. I coloured the image with Copics and fussy cut it (that took what seemed like forever!). To hide my imperfections  and to conceal any white card, I ran a black Copic marker around the cut edges. I popped the image on foam pads and attached it to a blended Distress Ink background. I matted my background onto black card and placed it onto a card blank.


That's all for today!
Come and join in the fun!

xoxo

    Wow, Carole, this is so bright & beautiful ... as, I think, Laurel Burch
    images should be! And I am always happy to see birdies in the mix, too.
    Sure hope those leopards leave them alone! lol

    Oooh, I love Laurel Burch designs and am the proud owner of several Laurel Burch pins and earrings from back in the 80's. I don't wear them anymore, but just keep them to admire, haha. Love this jungle scene and all that fussy cutting detail really pays off
