I used the quilt design as my inspiration for the background.
-I punched 1” squares and stuck them on one sided sticky paper; paper pierced and made the faux stitches with a black gel pen.
-The image is colored with Prismacolor pencil and baby oil.
Dry Brush wheel from Stampin Up is used on the blue layers.
Kitty image is Cornish Heritage Farms.

this is just the cutest card!! I adore that cat image with the teeny mouse peeking out! The background you created is just perfect with all the tiny stitches here and there. It's a wonderful card, worthy of framing!

The kitten and mouse are so cute and beautifully coloured, the background is perfect for this.
