CASology Challenge - Week # 104

The challenges at CASology are one of my favourites to enter but this week the theme 'Pet' had me a little stumped.

If you've read previous posts on my blog, you will know that I don't have a big collection of stamps, hence why the same sentiments turn up again and again on my cards.  I managed to find a set from Kaisercraft (that I've never used) that has woodland animals on it. Finally an idea was setting in....


 When I was little my best friend Kylie had a gray rabbit. I loved giving it cuddles, even though it always scratched me. So I stamped this rabbit in light gray. Unfortunately I don't own any colouring supplies, so light gray he stayed. I added a balloon for some colour and whimsy, adding Glossy Accents for a bit of shine.

The balloon, balloon string and sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps 'Only have eyes from you'.

I'm also going to link this to the challenge at Addicted to Stamps # 104 where their theme is 'CAS - Clean and Simple'. This is my second entry.

Another card down, two more to post. Washing is out, kids are eating and fire has been stoked. Very cold and overcast today but taking the kids to Picton after lunch. Its a tiny town about 20 mins from us, by the sea. Has a great big playground, merry go round and ride on toy train on tracks which only costs 20cents per child. Bargain!!

Take care
