I spent days trying to do a brooding, photo inspired winter scene card that featured embossed bare trees, masking, a fawn and other arty stuff. I could not get the deer stamp to work no matter what -- different inks, different papers, no masking, I even used a fine-grit sandpaper on it. I gave up and made this instead.The sweet kitties are from From the Heart Digis and the card also uses the current sketch from the From the Heart blog, I {heart} Sketches. The kitties are colored in pencils with the sentiment done in Lipstick Red.

I pray Blessings for you and your family; stay creative and be happy. Carole
ReplyDeleteI quite like the alternative. It is really sweet! I also like the idea of the one strip of striped paper on the inside of your card. I am trying to finish the inside of mine as I make them and this is a good idea.

Kitties are cuter than deer anyway! Love the mix of patterns on this. Purrfect for Christmas! BTW, I can't find this image I colored in to make a blue card with....it has to be someplace, right?!
ReplyDeleteAlways frustrating when the card you want to make just won't happen!! Hopefully it will work another day for you. These little kittens are so cute and love how you've co-ordinated the scarf colours with the patterned paper. So very glad you shared this with us at ATSM this week!
