Five Cats on a Fence by Pattie's Creations for Little Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #259 on the 3rd of August 2025

Hi All!

Welcome to my post about my card for challenge #259, the 3rd of August 2025 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:

Our sponsor for this challenge is Pattie's Creations:

Prize is 3 images

I chose Five Cats on a Fence, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and die cut with the largest of the Scalloped Frames Die from La-La Land Crafts, before colouring with the following Copics markers:

• cats - C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9
• fence - E21, E23, E25, E27
• grass - YG03, YG25, G05, G17
• sky - B00, B12, B14
• frame - B14, B16

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up of the colouring with the frame:

To finish the card, I popped up the coloured image with foam tape and attached on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions. I then glued the frame around it.

Here is a photo of the card from the side:
