PPinkyDolls Kitties!

Did this sweet card for the Ppinkydolls FB Group challenge.   The challenge is to use a PpinkyDolls image with an animal and (big surprise) I chose kitties!  I colored them up immediately but then had probs figuring out a background until I came across my pawprint punch that I'd all but forgotten about.  Embossed my card front with a large dots Cuttlebug folder and punched strips in pastels. Added some cute kitty die cuts here and there and a fab sentiment from Ginger's House.

Tell me it's not the sweetest image EVER!  It's called Playing with Kittens.  I've colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  Made the kitties look a bit like Himalayans (which I've always secretly wanted, but don't tell Goliath and Jezebel)  I kinda love this one.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you're doing what you love, with whom you love.  Here's a little cutie I did for the PpinkyDolls FB Valentine's challenge. 

This is one of her earlier images, called I Love You, so it didn't have much shading.  Did the heart and skin with Copics and most of the hair and clothes with pencil.  Doily is Cheery Lynn and the Hugs&Kisses from my new Tim Holtz die.  Aren't those heart shaped Alpha Beads adorable?  xox

Wicked Wednesday ATC Pink, Black and White

I finally got it together enough to play in one of my fave challenges, Wicked Wednesday ATC.  The challenge this week is Pink, Black and White, quite a fave of mine.  I'm just under the wire, but here it it.  Their sponsor this week is Ppinky Dolls which are about the sweetest images EVER, so of course, I used one of the beautiful images.  This is Cloud Lily, and a precious one she is. I printed her pretty tiny and colored her minimally with Copics.  (Not a problem with the beautiful shading already on the images, but fussy cutting was a bitch!). Her cloud behind is cotton and I've added a satin heart cut from trim. I'd been saving the DP in my stash forever and finally decided it was worth cutting into for this challenge.  Hope you like.
