I'm done fussin'!!! I started this card before work this morning, came home to finish it up, and I'm done fussin'!!! This is just one of those cards with which I am not totally happy, and I see some things I should have done differently, but you know what??? I'm done fussin'!!!
This adorable cat image was sent to me by Scrapbratmother and I've totally forgotten the name of it or who makes it. I know. I know. Forty lashes with a wet noodle for me. Trust me, I do enough self-flagellation! LOL!
Anywhoooo, I think this is self-explanatory. Most of the image was colored with SU's watercolor pencils, but I did use the Not Quite Navy and Old Olive markers for the hat, gift, card, and tag. For the card and tag, I outlined them first and then drew in the color with a blender pen.
TFL!

Don't flagellate yourself! Is that the word of the day? Okay my sentence is done! Since I don't know what that means, I will just comment on your card!
It's adorable and precious and I am absolutely loving that image. It is a great image for this sketch and you did such a good job coloring it. It rocks..
