Allsorts Challenge ~ For the love of Animals

The optional theme for the Allsorts Challenge this week is 'For the Love of Animals'.

I made a stepper card using a Presscut 'Step Card' die for the card base.  The image is an old Hobby Art 'Medium Daisy Cat' wood mounted stamp, which I've had for at least ten years and I coloured the cute image with Promarkers.  The image was die cut with a Memory Box 'Stitched Oval Layers' die.  I used a Sue Wilson's 'Pawprint Lattice' embossing folder for the background.  The pawprints down the sides panels were done with a border punch.  A sentiment and two punched flowers finished off my card.

 
The prizes this month are from out generous sponsors, OakwoodAALL and CreateStamp AddictsRuth Hamilton DesignAldridge Crafts.
