Hi, Friends.......
Here with a quick last-minute entry into the current Winnie & Walter Rerun Challenge. I already made one entry, but I wanted to try some colored pencils on kraft, inspired by Heather Hoffman's lovely card HERE.
I stamped and heat embossed the kitty image and then masked it before stamping a garden of flowers around the little sweetie. I colored the cat with my Prismacolors, blending with Gamsol, and added some highlights with the white pencil to my stamped flowers. I even made an envelope to match!
Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Purrfect with Evelin T Designs stamp set
Versafine ink in Smokey Gray
Clear embossing powder
Prismacolor Colored Pencils
Gamsol for blending
Winnie & Walter - In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals stamp set
Various dye inks from my stash
Winnie & Walter - Sentimental: Gift stamp set
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Audrey Cutaways die set
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Tilda Cutaways die set
Core'dinations/Darice Kraft Cardstock
Scrap of DCWV Glitter Cardstock
DCWV Patterned Cork
Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you liked my card. I need a lot of practice with this kind of scene building, but it was fun giving it a try!!!
Our weather is warming here a little bit finally. It was very slushy and slippery today and we are still covered with ice and snow, but it melted my icicles today....so that is progress!! The birds are migrating in and mobbing my birdfeeders since they are having trouble finding anything else to eat right now. A few more days of this warmer weather, though, and they will have some exposed vegetation and bare ground to poke around in. Spring is coming!!!!

Darling!! I love this sweetie snuggling in the flowers (unlike IRL when the flower beds are flattened by such lazy naps!)!! Kudos for a beautiful matching envelope, too!!
ReplyDeleteOh Janis, this is just adorable and you did such a fantastic job with that floral background, masking, and decorated envelope. I am floored by how beautiful this turned out. The pencil on kraft gives such a warm, homey look and the touches of white really bring dimension and life to the flowers. That sweet kitten couldn't be a more perfect centerpiece to this spring flower garden.
ReplyDeleteJust had to add that this piece is inspiring me to pull out the Gamsol that I bought several years ago and still haven't used with my Prisma pencils. I just LOVE this one so much!
ReplyDeleteThis si so pretty Janis - I love the colours you used and that kitty is so cute :-)
ReplyDeleteSpring is definitely here in Greece :-D
Thank you for purring to play at SUYP Cats Challenges.
