Black Cat

 I made a very simple card for you and I, myself, am surprised how much I really love it.

The prize is a $12 gift code to The Bugaboo Digi Stamps store for your digital stamps.

Supplies:

Bugaboo Happy Halloween Cat

QuicKutz Nestic Oval dies

Copic markers YG01, a little YG05, RV63

Vagabond

Arlene of the Die Cut Divas

Trio of FLowers

Be sure to enter the challenge this month.  I printed this trio three times and colored one of each flower while leaving the others black and white.  I thought a scallop edge would work with the squares.  I used the same Copic colors on the sentiments that I used on the flowers and added Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Flowers Are Popping UP All Over

I've been practicing coloring to show light shining on different shaped surfaces and I had a lot of fun with this particular image with lots of shapes to practice coloring.  First I made the card without a sentiment, but felt it was missing something and it was.  This would work for a Mother's Day card for a friend.

The Prize is:a $19.99 value, Puppy Love.  Perfect win for our challenge, isn't it?



I have had this wood block stamp for about a year and never used it.  I'm not even sure where I got it, but it's nice to have a purpose to use it now.  I hope you join the challenge with your favorite animals..
