Kitty Valentine

Hello, everybody.  Welcome to my newest followers - so happy to have you - I hope you like what you see.  This is my first card of 2014, and it is a Valentine.  Just look at the cute little image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps - he's called Valentine Critter - Kitty.  I won him months ago and thought he'd be perfect for this Valentine card.

From now on, you will see more bows on my cards - I received not one, but two, bow makers for Christmas:  the Craft-Dee BowZ and the Zutter Bow-It-All.  I love them both so much and plan to use one or the other as much as possible.  You'll have to guess which bow maker I used here, hehe.


I coloured the image with my Prismacolor pencils and mounted according to the sketch at Little Miss Muffet Challenges:

Little Miss Muffet Challenges - Sketch
Here are the other products I used:
  • DP:  Paperbilities
  • Cardstock:  Recollections
  • Ribbon:  May Arts
  • Accents:  Heart paperclip (Loblaws), sentiment sticker, heart gems, charm, pink twine (Dollarama), heart button (thrift store)
