Dear Santa Kitty's

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a Christmas card I made for my 2026 stash using images from Gerda Steiner Designs.   
 
I started out by stamping images from the Christmas Kitten stamp set onto Hammermill white card stock using memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using Ohuhu markers and a white chalk marker. Once the coloring was finished, I layered it and added some red brads before adhering it to a dry embossed card.  The final touches were some added bling, gold cord and using a clear 3D glaze pen to highlight parts of the images.  As an afterthought, I lightly stippled some tattered rose distress ink around the playful kittens.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out especially since I've been battling the flu the last couple of weeks.
 
Challenges entered:

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
