My card uses the image Laundry Days by Oak Pond Creations

I have kept this one simple again (who knows I may still yet get the knack of CAS).

The Embossing folder is by Sue Wilson and is called Basket Weave. 

I cut the image and sentiment with my Perfect Layers tool and used a corner rounder. The sentiment is a wood mounted stamp from my stash and the cat dies are all by Poppy Stamps.

I look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge, and don't forget to pop over and see the wonderful creations by the DT.
