Our Teapot Tuesday cards this week are going to Linda who is having health issues and needs a spot of cheer.
Everything started well, it said something about a cat landing on a big honking daisy and that was as far as I needed to read. Out came my favourite die, sizzix daisy. I drew and coloured the kitty, that went well but then I messed up the wings by drawing brown outlines on them. Then I mounted the kitty and daisy on a yellow ground like the teapot - bad bad bad - too much yellow so tried again this time on blue. Next bit with the border went OK but now it's suppose to be finished and it is lacking something. First I put glitter on the wings and flower centre, better, but not fixed yet. Then came the hearts and the faux stitching for a border. The last thing I added was the kitty sat there so patiently while I kept prodding him with all kinds of embellishments none of which worked that I gave him a halo!
Everything on this card was hand drawn.

Wow, other than the daisy, everything is hand drawn, fantastic!!! I'd say this is "Super Kitty" considering what you went through!! The halo is perfect for this fellow, though!! So sweet and cheerful!!
