Hi!

My first idea when planning this card was a bunch
of cats and two signs.

Along the process of making the card
I then added the trees, the flowers and the little bird! I really
like coloring these wooden signs, the card get so personal
when you add a name to them!

For this card I have been using the cats from the 
 "Fluffy Furball" set from Clearly Besotted. 

I wanted some of the cats to peak from behind the hill/the grass!

Images are colored with Copic markers, see the list of
markers I used for the cats at the end of this post!

My vision when making this card was lots of details and colors!

Copics used for the grey cats: C 01-02-04, N 6, B 01

Copics used for the red/grey cats: N 6, C 01-02-04, E 08-97, B 01

Hello!

The 30 days of "The 30 Day Coloring Challenge" went by so fast and was so much fun!

I am so pleased with my idea of die cutting the tags and stamping them in advance,
as it saved a lot of time and I was able to pick and chose from day to day!

I discovered a new to me stamp brand, the cute cats (and mice)
from Basik and Co, which I borrowed from a dear crafty friend!

Above is a selection of the tags I colored using images from Stampingbella!

Most of the tags have been listed in my Etsy shop!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi!

Here are my last tags for this challenge! Days 22-30. As always this is such a
nice challenge to participate in, hosted by the lovely Kathy. She is incredible in
cheering us on and commenting on our coloring, together with
her ambassodors, each and every day!

I managed to color a tag for each of the 30 days, day one I said that I
was just going to color, and not finish the tags as I felt that it would take me too long,
but I quickly discovered that I had to finish them and that it didn´t take that long.

I am glad I did and it has been so much fun seeing my stash of tags
grow in number for each day passing!

Hello!

I made three different Valentine cards using these cute cats from Basik & Co, 
so sweet with their hearts on their chests and their flowers!

I like the size of the cats, with lots of fur to color and they are not too detailed!

I altered their tiny mouths just a little...
was going for a smile but realized that I have to practice more and
not on an already colored one! I didn´t want to ruin
them so I just drew tiny lines. 

This is my favorite, walking with his head held high carrying his flower!

All images are colored with Copic markers,
as well as the grass and the blue "sky" beyond!

I added tiny dots of Stickles to the hearts and flowers, the sentiments
are from the  "Many everyday messages" set from Hero Arts.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

Valentine´s card with a Kitty Crew, made using some of
the cats from the "Little Cat Agenda" set from Mama Elephant!

Some masking took place making this card!
I chose the cats with the heart shaped balloon,
the pencil and the little love letter for this card.

I could have made this little crew bigger by adding more cats,
but when do you stop? Sometimes I think its hard to know
when to stop adding more especially
when using tiny images like these on a larger card.

Images are colored with Copic markers, a touch of Stickles are
added to the balloons, and the hearts on the envelopes!

Wishing you all a Happy Valentine´s Day!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!
I have made this thank-you card, using an old but favorite stamp
from Kraftin´Kimmie Stamps. The fun thing about this stamp is that I
often use it when I need a Thank-you card!  I can´t say why,
other than the fact that she looks happy and full of life!!!

I usually color her dress in bright, vivid colors, like pinks, purples, reds and
orange, but this time I wanted to try a completely new to me, color combination.

I have had this in the back of my mind for a long time,
turqoise and muted browns and I am so happy with the result.
They make a great combo!

She is colored with Copic markers,
see the list of the markers I used at the end of this post.

The background is colored using Distress Inks and some water droplets!

The alphabet die letters are " Moxie" from QuicKutz.

I found this golden brown cardstock in my scrap box,
it was the perfect color to match the dress and the striped paper! 

I added a coat of shimmer to the dress, using a clear Spectrum Noir!

Copics used for her hair: YR 23-27 R59

Copics used for her skin: E00-04-11-21

Copics used for her dress: E41-43-44-47, BG 11-45-57-75
