I created this for Christina Hor's holiday card drive for children in the Heart Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital. (You can find out more info at her blog: http://www.christinahordesigns.com/p/hug-heart.html.) I stamped the kitty onto a 4x4" panel of kraft cardstock with Charcoal ink, and colored it with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I used our youngest, Barney, as a model--though I didn't make him wear a Santa hat, of course! I also stamped the greeting, from "Color Layering Christmas Tree," in Charcoal ink, & highlighted the letters with a white gel pen. I used a couple of old patterned papers from my scrap stash for the background. (The Red Holly paper is probably ancient by now!) I used instructions in a video on YouTube to make a faux bow across the center panel, creating it through another piece of the same ribbon that I'd run across that panel. (I punched the 1/8" holes in the paper behind, as per the video instructions, and then used my paper piercer to separate the threads in the flat ribbon over the holes, so I could thread the bow ribbon through.) After I had "tied" the bow, I scrunched the ribbon behind it around the "knot," just to make it look a little more like all one piece of ribbon, and secured that with glue dots. Finally, I mounted my focal panel, and adhered the card front to a white A2 card base. I really LOVE how this card came out--especially the kitty!
