CCT Its A Wild World

This weeks challenge at CCT is It's A Wild World and we'd love to see your cards with animals on. I have used another of my very old High Hopes stamps called Ace. I coloured the image with Copics and added a Penny Black sentiment. I mounted the image onto some Kraft card and put some Glossy Accents on his eyes. Another very quick card!

I hope you'll be able to join us this week as we have another fab prize. I have treated myself to a couple of Penny Black stamps which I have been after for a while so hopefully they will arrive in time for the weekend as I'm having an injection in my knee on Friday and I've been told to rest it for a couple of days so it looks like been a crafting weekend, not exactly what I had planned for my 22nd wedding anniversary though!
