A big congrats to Gail, the newest Featured Stamper! What an amazing gallery & what an amazing stamper! I really love THIS wonderful card & the hand drawn elements she added. I kept the colors for the most part, & added some hand drawn & colored faux stitched circles, but I used a different layout, left off the embossing, & used different stamps.
I used a circle maker to draw all the circles & added the stitch lines, then I colored them in. I was also inspired by a card I saw that Jennifer Dove did where she drew the circles so I thought it would be fun to try it. And it was fun... except for the part where I used the long banner I already had (out of other card stock) instead of cutting it again out of X-Press It. I tested the red Copics on it (which are notorious for bleeding out of the lines) & they were fine. I didn't test the turquoise. It spread like crazy! So I redid those on the other paper, hand cut them & glued them on top. What a pain! At least the rest of the card was easy...just some die cuts.
Congrats again, Gail! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Very cool design! Love the kitty, love the sentiment, and love that you used part of the surprise box.....I haven't made an actual surprise box yet, but have used pieces of it!!
