The Orange Cat!

I thank all of you for leaving such nice comments. Thank you so much BEV, SUE, DAWN, CINDY, AMY,BEV(of Bev's Brill Blog, SMILYNSTEF & CHARMAINE.

Those who don't comment, please do. Even if you don't like my card do let me know, constructive criticism is always appreciated.

Now back to work. I{heart}2stamp has a Saturday challenge. This one’s a sketch challenge as well. I know I am so late, its Tuesday today, I should be punished! lol But I believe in better late than never!

This is the first time I have combined two challenges in one. The other is from TGIF. Their challenge theme was CATS! :D


Take a look at this sketch, its from I{heart}2stamp:















This is my take on it. I used Garfield image from the same source I always mention, the colouring pages lol. Coloured him up. I incorporated the green of his shirt in the background.




I have outlined Garfield with glitter and embossing paste. Because it was looking so plain and dull without it.
Believe me, I stopped right there. I didn't even put glitter on the flower. But when I sat back and thought about it, it just looked too dull.
I think I like it better after the embossing paste and glitter.



And now here is the zoom in version of the flower. I know now you can see all its flaws! lol

Aah well I don't have cutters or punches. I hand draw and cut them that's why they are not as perfect as you guys make. :)

It's very sweet and well done. thanks for your comments. I very seldom use those kinds of images, just don't seem to gravitate toward that style!

This card is great. I love cats also, and love cat stamp images. The paper combo is neat. I love wild papers that you would not put together normally. Wonderful job!! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such nice comments.
