As I am very much a "cat" girl (plus I don't own any dog stamps!!) my make today is another cat card. My own sweet cat Billy has always been my blog avatar too. Here he is caught lying in a sunbeam cheekily on the bed in the spare room. He sends a warm purr to you all. 

  Hello and welcome to May. It's time for our new challenge over at Country View Challenges.

As always there is a fab £20 voucher up for grabs for one lucky randomly selected winner to spend on the website.  You can find all the details of the challenge and more examples made by my talented teamies here.

I am very much a "cats" girl so my design makes this month will both be with cat stamps. In my opinion the best cat stamp set I own is Curious Cats by Visible Image. I LOVE this set. It is a real talking point and I sell lots of cards made with this set in Dotty's Teahouse.

Trendy butterflies 2 

and flutterby stencil

This is what I got up to;

I blended some distress oxide inks

and added some water. 

I added some more oxide though the flutterby stencil.

Then I stamped and fussy cut some butterflies using Trendy butterflies 2  , added some stitching and put everything together. 

Here is my card;

Trendy birds 2 stamps

and leaf prints 4 slim line stencil

I made a slimline card and this is what I got up to; I sprayed through the stencil using distress stains. I then cut this piece out to 21X10cm and kept the left overs.

I stamped out the 2 large birds from  Trendy birds 2 stamps

and stamped 2 of the sentiments onto the inky left overs, cut them out and added a little vintage photo distress ink.

I cut everything to size and stamped a few small birds in the background and then put my card together.

Here it is;

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I will be back with my 2nd DT project on 15th of this month.
