My first card today is an easel card. I combined a few MFP sets on this card. Of course, the boxer and the sentiment are from Fabulous Pets, today's set; but the birch trees are from News from the Woods, and the sentiment is from Lots of Words. I'm experimenting with different ways to make clouds in the sky. I actually used two methods on this card. I bought a cloud stencil from Inky Antics a couple of years ago and used it by sponging some blue ink against it. Then I popped up a die cut cloud with the sentiment stamped on it.
My second card sort of reminds me of my sister's house (except that she has dogs, not cats, as well as parrots). While they are not exactly friends, they at least tolerate each other. I made the parrot stand using a strip of card stock and a punched oval. The wallpaper and wood floor are patterned paper.
Please continue along on our blog hop and check out all the fantastic work of the rest of the team. And make sure you comment often in order to have a chance at winning a free stamp set.

Very beautiful card that you did
Thank for showing
I am always amazed at your expert designs and techniques! Both cards are fantastic and the colouring, use of paper etc is nothing short of astounding!Love and inspired by them both! TFS!
Great cards - especially love the parrot, cat "story" unfolding on your card!
Like the scenes you've created for your pet cards. Especially like the way you created the clouds & added the sentiment on the cloud. Had a Parakeet when growing up named Perry for Perry Como. Have a dog as a pet now. 1st dog, mix breed German Shepherd, was like my 1st child and ever so friendly & loving. RIP Sasha. 2nd dog that I have now is a mixed breed Hound that thinks he is part Cougar. He likes me to take him for walks.
