Puddles of Kitty Love (Knitty Kitty DT)

Hello, everyone!  I'm back!  It has been a tough couple of months and it was not a fun time, but the repairs are done and I'm home! I have most of the unpacking and cleaning done so I wanted to make a card! It will take me a while to get around to visit everyone and see what you've been creating, but I'll eventually make it to see you.

I have not done anything crafty for two months so my skills are rusty!  I decided for my first card back to go all out and add lots of embellishments. The adorable image is from Knitty Kitty Digis, called Puddles of Kitty Love.  Even the name is cute!  I sponged Distress Ink on the background, using the die as a mask, and then coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils. I added accents with a white gel pen and some sparkle on the puddles with clear Wink of Stella.


Here are the supplies used:
Digi Stamp Instant Download. Puddles Of Kitty Love. Knitty Kitty Digis No. 17
Puddles of Kitty Love
Check out the Knitty Kitty Digis shop for more adorable images! We also have a Facebook Group!
