Challenge 2302

  Sponsored by Beccy's Place

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by  Beccy's Place.  I would like to thank Beccy for sponsoring our challenge and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card uses the Christmas Kitties digital set.

I don't know about you, but for me, 2023 has picked up right where 2022 left off.  I've been battling both the flu and a migraine the last few weeks.  Fortunately, so far COVID testing has come out negative.  Creating has been very hard since I've been feeling so poorly. 
 
After combining my image/saying in a watermark program, I printed it out onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some stormy sky and old paper distress inks using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios. After distressing the image panel, and layering, I added it to the card using glue dots before highlighting the eyes/mistletoe using 3D glaze pens.  As an afterthought, I added some faux sewing using a Castle Arts copper gel pen before adding a cream rosette bow.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Hello

 Hello and welcome.  Sorry for not posting in a while, but 2023 has started off the way 2022 ended - with me sick.  I've had a flu bug for the last few weeks, and a bum knee, that has just sapped my creative energy.  I'm hoping to get creative again really soon.  Thank you for understanding.  

Don't forget that tomorrow starts a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.
