Cute Cat Stepper Card

Last night was craft night with my buddies and this week, after our tea and cake (not home made this week, I didn't get a chance to bake) we all made stepper cards.  I used a Papermania stepper blank, I really like the shape of these.
Confession time!  I just happened to be passing Hobby Craft yesterday and made the fatal mistake of popping in for a browse.  Oh dear........they had a sale.......loads of stuff dead cheap.  Anyway, the upshot was that I came away with a big bag of goodies for a tenner, including this massive Helz Cuppleditch stamp that I got for a pound and these lovely Papermania Hot Diggedy Dog papers which were only £3.50 for an A4 pack.  I couldn't wait to open my new goodies and I'm glad I did, this stamp is such fun to colour, which I've done with my usual Promarkers.
The sentiment was done with a Personal Impressions stamp, I thought it went rather well with this image.  To finish, I added a lacy border made with a Martha Stewart punch, some ribbon and a bow, some punched flowers and blue gems and pearls.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Paper Playtime - #7 - Use a Pun
Lacy Sunshine - #5 - Anything Goes
Pile It On - #13 - Handmade Flowers
That Craft Place - Animals
QKR Stampede - #32 - Animal Antics

  14. Fantastic card Wendy, I have to admit to bagging some Hobbycraft bargains myself this weekend! They had a butterfly hunt for Easter so we had to go looking down every aisle to find them and found lots more besides!
