I found Karen through the forums and a commenting game over there that is so much fun.
Karen's lovely use of colour inspired this card. The siamese cat was just on top of my stamp pile so I chose her to be on my card.
I stamped the cat in chocolate chip and then used pink passion and kiwi kiss ink out of my reinkers and did a watercolour BG effect with lots of water and salt.
I masked off the cat and then sponged the lower part of the BG with kiwi kiss and chocolate chip and then sponged around the outside of then entire panel with pink passion.
I stamped the flower cluster (from Stampendous - sorry but I have worn the name off of the block) afer I attatched the main panel to the card base of white so that the pink would be on both pieces and lined up correctly.
I edged the main panel by dragging it thrugh my chocolate chip pad and then outlined around the panel with my chocolate chip marker.
I sponged in kiwi kiss, pink passion and chocolate chip around the card base and added my fuax piercing with my choc chip marker and then stamped the sentiment from Pocket Silhouettes around the edges. Lastly I added the Bella's Baubles in a line along the left side of the main panel.
I really like this colour combo! Thanks for another one! I like kiwi kiss as it is softer and lighter than old olive but the same type of colour.
Hope you like my card as much as I enjoyed making it and thanks for the comments.

Beautiful!
sniff sniff...I NEED to buy that stamp for a project for a friend and everytime I see something with the right cat stamp it says "unknown" I am going to keep googling.

Hey, I just got back from that area and though I haven't been to Heather's Stamp Haven yet, I've been to The Stamp Barn that is nearby and features some of her designs. Lori, this is gorgeous. I have to chuckle when I see siamese cats. I knew one in my young years that hated it's owners mother and would sit on top of the door an smack her in the head when she went by--she wore a wig and it usually ended up skewed on her head!! Your bg is fabulous (I didn't know about salt) and I LOVE the way you lined up your flowers. You are amazing and I love to linger over your creative designs.
