This is for IC187. Today we went to a website called posters. com to find our inspiration. Fantastic site because of the endless styles and subjects to choose from. I saw this poster: http://www.posters.com/pv-394614_Curiosity.html and it reminded me that I had this cute kitty stamp that I had ordered during the college years and hadn't inked him up yet! Decided to also get into some other neglected things. The paper is from KI Memories and had a couple of pieces cut from it years ago and was stuffed in my scrap box. The butterflies are punched from a piece of velveteen paper that I had run through the xyron...again years ago and laying in the scrap box. The punch is a recent purchase, but again, sadly unused until today. My CTHM alphas have also been neglected and that is what I used for the sentiment. Image is colored with SU markers and a blender pen for shading. Eyes have a layer of diamond glaze. Paws are on popdots. Thanks for taking a closer look. Oh yeah....does anyone know who makes my kitty stamp??? One drawback to buying individual unmounted stamps....no lables.

I was going to say the same as Deborah, if you check out Mothermark's gallery I think she has a section just for Rocky, and she probably says where he's from. The glaze on the eyes is the finishing touch on a perfect card.

Awesome card!! Love how you interpreted your inspiration poster. This turned out so well! I really like how you used diamond glaze on the eyes, and those velveteen butterflies are fabulous! Great job on the challenge!!

Yikes, it's a cat! I love his eyes, and I do believe if I look hard enough I can see you shotting the photo? Look in his eyes, girl, and there you'll see your image. What a fun fun card this is! Have a great weekend.
