Something Completely Different!

Now that's what I like, something out of the ordinary and this week popped over to Artyjen's blog where she'd made a fabulous gothic arch for the SCD challenge which blew me away, so thought I'd have a go at the challenge.

 

The challenge for this month is to make gothic arches and this week the theme is CATS, so here I stamped an Anita's cat stamp and shaded it a bit with promarkers, then stamped a crafty individuals doorway coloured with TH inks and cut off the doors, then downloaded a mouse image, coloured it with promarkers and cut it out. A touch of glossy accents on the eyes finished the ATC off nicely.

Been busy this weekend!

What a 'witty' little arch! Love the glossy accents on the cat's eyes and the little mouse is just sweet. I actually like mice more than cats so I'm glad the cat can't get at him, Lol.

I love this, Michelle. Your cat peeping through the doorway is just lovely and it looks like the mouse has got the last laugh. A brilliant take on the gothic arch.
