Do you know how cute this release is?
It's so cute it made me paint cats. CATS.
I'm firmly in the dog camp and even I couldn't resist these kitties!
I stamped my images down on Canson watercolor paper using Amalgum Whisper ink for a no line coloring look. I used my Daniel Smith watercolors and just took my time painting along.
The kitties were inspired by my friends cats which is who I will be sending this card too. I mean if I ever make it to my mailbox ha.
You know the deal by now. Video is to come :)
You can check out Ilda's card here.
Thanks for stopping by!
Your next stop on the hope is my sweet and endlessly talented friend Vera Yates who I know has something fantastic in store for you!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those little kittens in the boots are just too cute. Wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteI started watching your YouTube videos a couple of months ago and now I am an addict. I just love watching you color and listening to your stories. I have learned a ton about color and shading from watching. I was always so intimidated with the thought of learning to to color, and now I have an obsession to learn. I bought some alcohol markers and some watercolors and I have started to play.
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful and one of the reasons that I now want to learn to color. Please keep sharing, I always get a smile while listening to your stories and I am never disappointed with your cards.
Thanks for sharing!
Awww...such a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteKelly, this is such a pretty card! I love your project! Thank you for sharing this beautiful inspiration with us!

ReplyDeleteI didn't recall seeing the butterflies yesterday. Thanks for showing the shading on the boot.

ReplyDeleteVery sweet...the stamp set from HB as well as your use of it. Love your personal stories as well. I've been a single mom for many years, so I relate (had three jobs at various times as well). Keep up the good fight.
