Goodmorning all Cathy here with a bookmark for you.

Stamps Used:

brush strokes

pieces of calligraphy 

small happy cat

I started out by making a bookmark and rounding the edges, I then stamped small happy cat on the bottom of the bookmark. I colored him in with copic markers.  Next, I stamped a stamp from each pieces of calligraphy and brush strokes in a gray ink. I layered it on black cardstock and added a saying.

You can join the cat or dog challenge.

Peace, Love and Harmony

Cats and Dogs: Two Cats

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello everyone, Liesbeth here with a card for our Challenge Cats and Dogs! Because of my holiday,( and because I'm chaotic..) I had to choose an oldie, but I think it fits perfectly to this theme! :-)

Stamps used: Two Cats, Pieces of Calligraphy, Pieces of Architecture.

I coloured a big A4 card with Distress inks and water, cut a smaller card and stamped (black ink) and cut the cats out of it. I stamped the texts and fragment with yellow, blue and black ink onto the background and glued the cats onto a yellow cardstock mat and glued them onto the background with 3d foam tape. Why not try it yourself and participate!? :-)

Have a nice and creative day!

LiesbethXX
