Vintage Kittens 1 of 3 (Nicecrane Designs)

Hello, everybody!  I had some crafting time over the weekend and I enjoyed trying my hand at the vintage style.  I received the lovely set of Christmas Kittens by Louis Wain from the amazing Ignacio at Nicecrane Designs and I couldn't wait to get started!  I have been admiring his vintage cats and kittens for quite awhile and I was so happy to finally play with them.  I actually made three cards from this set and I will share the other two cards later this week, but here is the first one. Although this set is called Christmas Kittens, I think the images are wonderful for any time of year.

Here are the other supplies used:

• Digital stamps:  The Fancy Button Co. (Crafty Secrets - Button Up set), Remember Sentiment Tag (Decosse's Dynamite Doodles), Vintage Film Tag (Bizzy Becs Store)
• Die:  Poppy Stamps Walking Cat
• Patterned Paper:  Basic Grey Hey You, MME Kraft Fun Day
• Ribbon:  Crinkle ribbon (won from the lovely Karen at Little Scrap Pieces, thank you!), lace (thrift shop find)
• Accents: Charm, buttons, polkadot tag (stash)
• Ink:  Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy (sponged around card edge and image), SU Only Orange, SU Apricot Appeal, and StampCraft Red (sponged vintage film strip tag)
