Thanks from the bottom of my he(art) Tara



Hello.
Hope you are enjoying our blog hop the team have done a fantastic job. 
I have another card for Tara and Rick this time with a funny cat from Paper smooches nine lives.


I started by making a smooshed distress ink background with peacock feathers on a die cut panel.
I then water coloured the cat and easel with inktense pencils.
Once they were all dry i fussy cut and added to the panel.
Because the cat has such a funny eccentric look i thought it would be fun to make it look like he was painting so i used the painted palette die set.
And to finish i of course had to add some clear sequins.

The full hop list is here and your next stop is Keren

  2. Kate - thank so much for organising this - its a huge surprise and really lovely. Both your cards are perfect - you've even got Lotties colouring right on this one. She is a bugger for playing with my pencils too so could almost paint me a picture if she had opposable thumbs!
    Thank you!
