A welcome cat

Simon says stamp blog Wednesday challenge is

'Animal Fun'

I have had the inspiration card for this one aved as part of my 'To try list' for years now but it wasn't until I got my Silhouette machine that I had a pattern for a door.
So here it is.

The cat was done with a die.
I embossed the topper. Cut two doors, one white and one blue and then filled the windows of the door with the white cut outs. An enamel dot was added for the door knob.

I will also be  entering this at CAS on Sunday where it is

'Beautiful Blooms'

 

I used my new 'toy' to make these tags

 

 

I used an existing Silhouette pattern for these tags and cut the white motive a fraction smaller than the blue backing. It was fiddly getting the two adhered together and I'm sure that there must be an easier way but I'm still learning.
