Got to love this ridiculously indulgent cat and his cute mouse friend in this Penny Black stamp. I added a load of dew drops (by Robins Nest) randomly to look like bubbles. Coloured with Copic markers, I left the design really simple as the stamp is such a busy little image.
It's Pancake Day here in the UK tomorrow - yes it really does exist. The pancakes we eat are similar to the French crepes rather than the more substantial ones in the USA, we eat them with lemon juice and sugar, and jolly delicious they are too. Very more-ish. There are all sorts of ancient customs and traditions as well, some towns have pancake races (no the pancakes don't run, the contestants run holding a pan with a pancake, tossing it as they go). There are probably pancake gluttony contests somewhere as well, now I could be a winner if I entered that one.

Great card!! and YES, I LOVE the PP images! I will be making many cards with those. Oh, and I LOVE pancakes! Of course, I have the US kind and they will pack on the pounds if you eat them too often. But, hey, indulgence in moderation isn't soooo bad. Have a great week and thanks for your nice comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, pancake day! I had forgotten all about that... maybe I will surprise my DH by making him some UK pancakes and then tell him he can't put maple syrup on them.

Sorry En...I got a little bit confused and thought you had entered this for this week's challenge....oh dear...isn't it going to be another confused day.
ReplyDeleteHugs Kath xxxxxx
Well firstly, the card En, it is so pretty. I love the expression on the cat's face. A fabulous image xxx And secondly, ohhh I am so with you re the pancakes. I love them!! And pancake races are a bit strange when you think about it, but I guess that's British eccentricity for you :))) I'm never sure whether to have lemon and sugar or maple syrup. So I have to have both, for research purposes obviously!!! Enjoy yours xxxxxx
