Tiddly Inks DT Call

Hi everyone,

Ive not been around lately as ive been getting myself back on track with everything after Christmas and New Year so I thought why not kickstart with an entry for the Tiddly Inks DT Call.

I just looovee the Tiddly Inks images, kindly introduced to them by Alyce from Kit and Clowder.

The hard decision was which image to use, being a cat lover, I just couldn't resist using Cat Love Fever. Its a very cute set and comes with some really sweet and funny sentiments and extras to make your card complete.

Heres my card:

 

 

Isn't she cute? and how cute are the kitties ? the mouse and paw prints all come in the set so it really is a bargain!!!

 

The papers are from Lili of the valley, i  coloured the image using promarkers and flexmarkers and added some stickles for a bit of sparkle.

 

 



I am entering this card into the Tiddly Inks DT Call

Why not have a go yourself? Hurry the call closes on 15th January :)
