This Beach Kitten birthday card is destined for my niece who loves cats. The stamp is Meljen's Designs Beach Kitten. She has designed some really cute cat digis, like the retired one used on this 'No butts about it...' card.
The seaside papers are a free digital download from Cardmaking and Papercraft issue 81. The sentiment was created with Amelie font.
Embellishments are crinkled paper ribbon and buttons. Now about those buttons...if you think I went a bit overboard there, you're right. I had intended to have only three, but due to a glue malfunction (or my less than steady hand) spot coverage was necessary.

Awwww... I love the pink outfit on this cutie - and the matching crinkled 'ribbon'! Girrrl! I know how it goes with an unsteady hand and spot coverage! Today I was addressing a wedding card with a Calligraphy pen and it was perfect until I misspelled my last name in the return address! By the way, I don't think five buttons is 'overboard' - my first impression on seeing the card is a big grin! Your pencil work is so smooth on this image - and your shading is masterful! Nicely done Shani!
ReplyDeleteStopping over from the Creative with Stamps blog after linking up my card. This is soooo adorable!! Sweet image (I need to print out some of my Meljen's images!) and your papers are Purrrrfect! : )
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, how cute!!! Love that bikini-clad kitty and fun summer papers. My nieces love cats too.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! That kitty image is way cute....a bikini on a cat - tee hee! Wonderful papers and I think that five buttons is the perfect amount of buttons, so yay for the oopsie. (:
