Stag


It's time for the last challenge of 2023 at

Our theme is simple use a critter as the main image of your card.


The gorgeous Stag is a stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils. I have used paste through the stencil and let is dry over night. then colour of the paste using Copic pens. I've used another stencil called Plaid to make a panel to which I've attached the sentiment. I love working with stencils and these make a brilliant card for the men in our lives.

It's new challenge day at the Crafty Catz.

Our sponsor is Sheepski Designs
and this is one of their images called Curly


I really love this little Curly Coo. I've coloured him with Polychromo pencils. I have then die cut  frame and decorated the corners of it with a stencil called Fall backplate from Sweet Poppy stencils. Then I've just stamped a sentiment in a space on the frame. Such a cute image it doesn't need a lot of extra decoration.
