Kitties for Christmas

I like to make Christmas cards all year long and then it's not so stressful when December rolls around.  Here's my latest:


I stamped the Christmas kitties in black, coloured with watercolour markers, outlined with a silver marker, mounted on green cardstock and then a red metallic poinsettia panel that covers a white card base.  I embellished by adding red Stickles to the holly berries and two silver metallic snowflakes.  It's hard to see the red glitter on the berries, so here's a close-up:


Here are the supplies used:
  • Stamps:  Christmas Kitties (Stamps Happen)
  • Watercolour Markers:  Tombow
  • Cardstock and metallic panel:  unknown/unmarked from my stash
  • Glitter glue:  Stickles - Xmas Red
  • Silver Marker:  Pilot
  • Snowflakes:  Dollarama

  32. I've heard of water based markers but never watercolour markers. How interesting and the blending is really good. Another wonderful choice for one of your favourite cards from the year. That red foiled background is spectacular and I just knew at least one of your entries would have a kitty of some nature on it! Such a cute image and I love the CAS feel to the piece. Cool glittery snowflakes too. I don't think I've ever seen those ones at our Dollarama.

    Thanks for entering a second card into my World Card Making Day Celebration Fit Kitty. Now I'm off to see the third!

    Hugs,
    Lisa
