Wags 'n Whiskers DT Challenge Card

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Well today is Friday so that means we have a new challenge for you at Wags 'n Whiskers challenge. The challenge for this week was chosen by the very talented Inge and she chose 'Freestyle'. As usual, one lucky winner will receive 1 free Wags 'n Whiskers stamp of YOUR CHOICE!! Just remember that you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers stamp in order to be entered into the drawing.

For my card I've used the gorgeous 'Say a Prayer' stamp from Wags 'n Whiskers. As the Communions will start in May this year, I thought that this image is ideal for the occasion.

The DP is a black & white digital download called 'New Beginnings' from Raspberry Road and I printed it onto lilac & purple plain paper.
