Floral kitty

 Hi all.  I was very lucky to win a Simon Says Stamp challenge recently and this cutie from Purple Onion Designs was one of the goodies I chose.  I wanted to use some spotty paper but didn't have any so just used some plain yellow paper (not sure why it looks darker in the photo as its definitely bright yellow), my falling snow stencil and a white gel pen.  I haven't decided yet what sentiment to use on this, I might just keep it in my stash for whenever it's needed. 



My pink wellies and spotty yellow theme came from the current challenge over at Inspired By #286

As You Like It - clean or fussy.   I always love the look of cards with lots of layers and bits and bobs on them but find them impossible to make myself!  It took me many years when I was starting to make cards to figure this out and I now know what bits and bobs to buy that I will actually use!

We've had a lovely run of dry-ish weather this past week, spring has most definitely sprung!  So nice as well not to have to dry Molly's wee short mucky legs after every walk LOL.  No photo of Molly this week, but here's one of the pretty primroses in our local park, there was loads of wild garlic too.

Oh, Lynne, I love your card so much! Using your snow stencil and a white pen to make some dotty paper was brilliant! Your coloring is perfect, as usual, too.

Your park looks lovely. I can imagine wondering through there on a warm spring day. We've had some nice spring rains here, which were very welcome because it had been so dry all winter. The tulips are blooming like mad, and I've been able to bring a few into the house.

A lovely cute card and a great idea to make your own spotty paper with the stencil.
