Black and White...

... and a splash of colour : it's the theme of the challenge with Simon Says Stamp and although black and white are not really the colours I go for, I have decided to give it a try and I have made... another tag !!! Here it is...


The paper is from Bo Bunny, the flowers were made with dies from Die-Namics, the leaves with a die from Marianne Design and the bow with a die from Leane Creatief (it's part of a new set of dies I got for Christmas...). The little tickets are part of a digital download from Janet. The little photo was on a back of a calendar my dear sister Annie gave me years ago... It used to be a tradition, every year for Christmas she used to give me a cat calendar...

My tag will also enter the challenges :
- "New Stash" (die) with Try it on Tuesday,
- "Ribbon" with Totally Papercrafts,
- "Dies/Punches" with Allsorts Challenges
- "Flowers and Ribbon" with The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop
and "Anything Goes" with Inky Chicks.
Happy Crafting !

Oh Catherine, what a stunning this is. Love the little kitty dear. A lovely reminder of Annie for you. Loving your new dies. My NY's resolution is to increase my supply of dies, so when you come across any bargains pop me an email please. They must also cut perfectly with the CB. Have a lovely Sunday. Love and hugs Sharon xoxo

What a stunning tag Catherine and great use of your dies.

It's great to see you at Pretty Little Ribbons challenge this month and Allsorts challenge this week, thanks so much for joining us at both.

Your lovely work would fit very well into our theme at FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping challenges this month.

What a sweet cat (and lovely tradition). LOVE your splash of color!!

Shelly said...

Hi Catherine! Your tag is so pretty, and I just adore the little cat. I'm sure Annie would approve of the way in which you've recycled her lovely gift to you. Thank you for your kind comment on my blog, alas I am feeling a bit run down at the moment, and in turn this has taken it's toll on my crafting mojo. I'm hoping by visiting my friends lovely blogs (like yours), it will help revive my mojo. Take care my friend, Shelly x
