I made this for challenge IC278 - the inspiration challenge this week is for Outer Banks Trading Group and I chose this pillow for my inspiration: http://www.obxtradingroup.com/index....=5292&parent=0. I colored this Penny Black image with Tombow markers and added foam tape to all Spellbinders layers for dimension. I layered a MFT flower die, orange button, yellow felt and green MFT button dies. I've notice that corrugated accents have become popular again and so I found my neglected corrugating tool in a box on unused stamping stuff and ran it over the orange and black scalloped pieces. How fun when old things become new again!! TFL & God Bless!!

Wow, lots of texture going on here. I love that scallop border on your card with those papers and ribbon! Your sweet little image just puts the perfect finishing touch on your adorable card.

DJ, you've done it again! Your gallery is so full of really great cards. You know, I have a place in my heart for anything whimsical like this card. Excellent coloring of the image. The fur on the kitty's back actually looks real! You are an expert with PB stamps. Love the color combination and dp mix. Keep up the wonderful work. TFS!

As a huge Penny Black fan this pushes all my buttons! I REALLY love how you have coloured that image on linen effect paper, it looks like an oilpainting! WoW! And how peeved am I that I gave my 5yr old Nephew my old corrugating tool after lingering for literally YEARS in a box unused and unloved! You are a very NAUGHTY lady.....Now I will never give anything away....just in case! LOL! Super duper card! x
