Dreamcatcher and A Cat Mystery....

Hello and happy Sunday...

This will probably be my last post for awhile... We are away in a few days and over the Easter period so Mikey is in charge of the house and the cats. Talking of which, Missy is now fully fit and Tabby? Well that's a mystery.

You know of our disastrous attempts to catch him and have a vet see to his festering sore and hopefully get him neutered once and for all to prevent these injuries not to mention hundreds of unwanted kittens!
So, imagine our surprise when he turned up for his tea time feed a couple of days ago with the fur around the sore gone and the sore itself no longer infected!!! WTH!! Come on!
Over 5 years we've looked after this boy, fed him, built a house for him, regularly given him worming tablets, flea stuff and pain medication when he's been injured. Heck, we even nursed him round the clock when he got flu. So unless he fixed himself, or some kind soul managed to trapped him and had him treated, but not neutered??? He never was a stray and his owners are totally irresponsible.

At least he is okay and that's the main thing.

Okay, on to my card which features a die I've had for a few months (Aliexpress) and never got around to using


I cut the feather part of the die again from a scrap of triple embossed card I still had and overlaid them on top of the originals... I even got the centre heart out of that scrap Lol!


Then I thought it would look better with a frame to match so I die cut a frame, added Versamark to it and used my embossing powders a few times...


The stenciled background piece was one I did ages ago and never used... It was stenciled from a die cut.

I'm wishing you all a blessed Easter... The UK temperatures are set to soar for that weekend too
Be safe, don't eat too much chocolate and I'll catch up when we get back

Hugs

Well that is quite the story about Tabby! So glad to hear he is doing well! As for your card, this is beautiful! Love how you embossed the feathers, which tied in with the embossed frame and center of the heart. Lovely stenciled background as well. Wishing you and hubby a wonderful trip, looking forward to hearing about it when you return. Take care, hugs,

You've made a beautiful card with that dream-catcher Ros. The embossing on the feathers looks stunning in combination with your frame. Love the background too.
Have a wonderful trip, enjoy :)

A lovely card as ever Ros...and the cat? a mystery I say. I hope you have a great holiday and Happy Easter to you. Safe travels xx

Well, what a surprise about Tabby, sounds like he does have a home but is taking advantage of extra meals every day as possibly he doesn't get enough to eat where he lives and is generally not well cared for. Some people should not have animals I feel. Well your card with the feathered heart is fabulous Ros and I love the triple embossed pieces you used for the feathers and the sweet little central heart and all on a complementary stencilled background and the frame goes perfectly too. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and great weather too. x

Love your stenciled background for your gorgeous die cut Dreamcatcher and embossed feathers. Glad to hear Tabby is healing too. Better 2 families and caregivers than none:-) Enjoy your warming trend. Hugs..Nancy

You make everything look extra special, Ros. I'm really drawn to your colorful background. It's just perfect with the dream catcher die which, in turn, is perfectly balanced with the feathers, frame and center heart. So pretty! Interesting about Tabby. If the fur was shaved, then there's another responsible soul in the vicinity. If he pulled the fur out to get at the wound it's possible his own ministrations healed it. I can't bear to see an animal suffer so I'm glad you've been taking care of him. I really hope you have a wonderful vacation!

Thank you for the update on the cats Ros....x Such a creative card and love all the elements. The stencilled background looks fabulous against the beautiful die cut and love the bit of bling x Have a fabulous time away, relax and make memories x

Tracy said...

Hope you have a blast on your trip. I really really like the embossing elements on this card. They add such a cool effect. Hmmm sounds like Mr. Tabby has figured out how to get his bread buttered at two homes...at least. LOL Glad he's better.

Glad to hear that Tabby is on the mend.
Your Dreamcatcher is gorgeous with the metallic feather and the heart. The matching metallic frame and the background steniciling are wonderful!

Well, Tabby must be like the cat that's decided to join me... but now I do know the owners and will soon go and have a chat with them! Your card is lovely; I've always liked the idea of dream catchers.
