Just catching up! Boy, am I late too! This is in honor of Kittie747, the very first person I stalked shamelessly on SCS back when I was a newbie- and to this day, I still drop my jaw to see what Kittie creates! I lovingly call her my Professor in Card College. Kittie, you have been such an influence to me, I admire your style, your sense of balance and your wit! I used Relaxing Riley as my inspiration, and totally cased the heck out of it! Lol. I couldn't drift too far away, your card is perfection!
This is also for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday from last week to bring a bit of the beach to Elaine. Using my Kitty Kit from Rubbernecker, I tried to make my scene look like the beaches of Carmel, Ca. It is gorgeous there, and the blooms come out of the big trees, and right down to the sand! Elaine, I wish you could be there. For now, this Kitty inspired card will be on it's way to you, with many prayers.
The colors are also for the Twisted Sister challenge from last Friday, issued by Terri (Brat Cards). Whew! I think that about does it. I am so far behind, I may never catch up! Thanks for looking!

AWESOME!!! Gosh Pat, I don't think I'm going to chance looking at Kittie's card; I might really get whelmed! This is beautiful and what a smart cookie you are to cover all those challenges with just one card. I bow to you oh smarty pants wonder!!!!! How did you make that swirly looking embellishment in the left upper corner? That is just positively gawgus!

Beautiful job on this challenge. Great colors, I thought you would pick that inspiration piece. I love the paper piecing and the beautiful scenery you created around your lady.

I don't know anything about the challenge, but I DO know this is one gorgeous card!! Love how you made the image match up with the way the beaches are in Carmel (Though I know nothing of this - I am taking it on faith from your description) Masking, die cuts and that adorable seashell brad, I am in awe in what you have done here!! Love the DP and paper piecing too!!
