Here Kitty Kitty!

What a fun image for a Christmas Card! I particularly love the sparkly bow! I can only do this with non-digi stamps and love the effect! I colored it with a red Copic marker, top it with a red Spica marker (the sparkle is from this one), then top it off with Crystal Effects (or similar product). It won't work on digi stamps as they end up bleeding from the moisture. The flowers I used are all Primas. I wanted a shiny ribbon and ended up chopping a Christmas ribbon in half! Worked like a charm. The pretty holly background paper is the Martha Stewart stack from Michael's. I am getting into charms too! I wish they were easier to find! This one came in a variety pack from England. You can get this cute stamp at Whimsy's Store. It's one of Chrissy Armstrong's designs.
Please don't forget Whimsy Stamps has a lot going on in December! There is a Christmas card contest going on (no I'm not entering my cards hehe, I like creating for Denise!). You just have to use a Whimsy image and have it submitted by Dec. 12th.
There is also the Whimsy Advent Event going on the entire month. It begins Dec. 1st. The entire Design Team is participating so you will want to check the Whimsy Blog for where the give away is each day! It's easy too, all you will have to do is leave a comment! That's a lot of chances to win so don't miss out!
