Bonjour

Hello...
Happy April and Happy Spring

Yesterday was Mother's Day here in the UK plus the clocks went forward an hour so Spring is officially here....


I put the sewing machine away today and finally made some cards using die cuts and background pieces I had been holding on to. This card even has a cat image I salvaged from a birthday card I received last January...


He's like my cat snoozing in the garden....You can see the sparkle on the painted BG from this angle


 I'm slowly making a little dent in all the leftover bits... It's like doing a jigsaw putting them together



I'll share some more soon - right now my cats need feeding as does my husband!

Enjoy your day/evening

He's adorable and that background with the sparkle is fabulous. You've created such a sweet place for him to take a nap.

Beautiful card Ros. I love the colour and sparkle in the background and I'm jealous of that sleepy cat in the grass ;p

More brilliant cards Ros...you certainly have some lovely pieces of'left overs' and make such classy cards with them. xx

Amazing sparkling card, Ros. I love the pretty sleepy cat and the whole scene you created. Kisses!!!

Happy Spring, and Happy Mother's Day to you as well! Your card is so pretty Ros. The cat is super sweet, all curled up there in the grass. I can really see the shimmer of gold in the second picture, very pretty, love the colours. You are truly an inspiration when it comes to using up scraps! Have a wonderful day.

Always the most beautiful cards, Ros. That gorgeous background and the grassy die, sigh... and then the darling whimsical kitty napping in the front -- so cute! I need to work on my card parts, but none of them are as springy and pretty as this!

Ros, your background is out of this world, I love all the sparkle. Your addition of this saved cat is perfect, he's so cute I'm glad he got to have another life on a card :)

I love your cute dozing cat and the die works beautifully with the prettily watercoloured and gold accented background Ros. I'm glad you have returned to making cards after your sewing break, and hope all achieved successfully. x

What a pretty effect on that striking background. Fun idea to pop the sleeping cat on and love the white die cutting too x. Hope the cats and DH where well fed? x.
