Life Happens

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I started earlier in December, but never finished until the New Year's weekend and then just now photographed.  I rediscovered this cute kitten digital image from Gracielle Designs' Sweet Tea in my to be used digital folder.  Don't you just want to give this little kitten a hug??

I started out by combining the image, and saying, in a watermark program then printed it out onto Neenah white card stock before coloring it using Castle Arts pencils then layered it and added some blue brads.  Once that was finished, I stamped the card using a long retired Like It A Latte wood block stamp set in pacific pointe ink.  Once the background was done, I stippled some more pacific pointe ink around the edges before adding my layered image.  As an afterthought, I spritzed some pacific pointe marker to help fill in the white spaces around my main image.  After adding some winter blues sequins from Picket Fence Studios, the card was finished.
