Cats at play

Today I have an inspiration make for our new Country View Challenge, hosted by Rachel 
who chose Cats and/or dogs as the theme. 
I was a bit worried about what to do as I don't have pets related stash but I had forgotten
 a very old Lakeland set and decided to give it a bit of love... 

The background is Distressed inks with added stamping (Kaisercraft texture clear stamps: Perfume and Botanical) and stencilling (Imagination Crafts MA-24). 
I stamped all the images in the set in Versafine black ink. 

There is no reference on the Lakeland set but I think I saw the very same images in a set by Artemio, also many moons ago. 
Finally I added my journaling, a reverse pun on the proverb, as I was thinking if the cats did their job and the mice have gone away they have earned some play time! 
And yes, in the name of artistic license, I took liberties with the grammar... ! 


Over to you now, you have plenty of time to make something with Cats and/or Dogs and link up your project to the Country View Challenge blog for the chance to win a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop.


Thanks for coming by,
 Craftyfield     I am entering the Paperbabe and SSS Wednesday challenges

    Until I read your post I would have totally forgotten that Lakeland ventured into craft at one point as did Dunelm from memory, you covered the theme perfect and with a nice vintage slant.
