Chasing Skunks

      Most animals have an instinct about what's dangerous or unpleasant, even when they're too young to have actually encountered the danger.  But some youngsters have to push the envelope and learn for themselves.  That's clearly what happened to this young ginger kitten.  Fortunately, he has friends who love and care for him.  :-D

     House Mouse image colored with ProMarkers and cut with cross-stitch die from Unbranded dies.  All the papers are scraps from the basket and I know the papers with the rows of dots came from Lawn Fawn.  The sheer ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the sheer bow is one of my signature, hand-sewn bows with a pearl.  The sentiment was printed and cut with a die from Avery Elle.


I was inspired by Sketch #213 at Sweet Sketch Weds.
adjusted for an A2 card.

     That's all I have for today but I'm heading back to the craft room so who knows what I might have for tomorrow?  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
