I used no digis today! The Siamese kitty stamp came from an ebay lot many years ago, and I had not used it (hanging head). I stamped it in black and fussy-cut. On a blue scrap, I stamped See-D's Asian lettering with SU Going Gray to create a background and then punched two butterflies with my EK Success punch. The Asian-themed paper came from a magazine many years ago; have never used it. Although it's pretty, it's magazine paper so it feels a bit flimsy. The black die cuts are Spellbinders Fleur-de-Lis Squares. Lastly I embellished with a number of pale blue gems. I didn't add a sentiment, so this card can be used for a number of occasions - I like to have a few of these on hand. Thank you to MFP's Oriental Sketch Challenge for inspiring me to use my neglected Asian-themed stamps and paper!

ReplyDeleteThis is a great card, Kitty! Especially with the dramatic black background - such pretty Asian influences! At the same time, that Siamese kitty looks so mischievous that it reminds me of those singing siamese kitties in The Lady and the Tramp - singing and causing messes. Maybe it is the movement around the sleeping kitty which makes her seem mischievous. LOL or maybe it is because I know you. LOL hugs, de
