Happiness is....

I thought I'd post this to try and remind myself why I love my cats, they are making life very hard for me today by being general little wotsits and won't let me get anything done!

I made this a couple of weeks ago and as always, hadnt got round to posting it yet! The image is a stamp from Dimension Fourth, but I've only used it a few times as it's quite difficult to get a good impresssion out of it. I still adore it though! Here, I've stamped in Memento and inked around the image with Pumice Stone distress ink. I've used Papers from the Papermania V&A collection, which are also inked around, and the corner is made with a sizzix die.
The Lace, Bakers twine and the mosaic tiles are from stash, and the sentiment is from a stamp set by Personal Impressions. I've added a touch of glossy accents to the cats eyes to make them shine :)

Awww, your kitties are so cute! My cat has been torturing me for days while my hubby has been outta town. When she got old she got mouthy and crabby. And she is having that effect on me!!!
