This card is for two challenges. First of all the Free For All challenge - Party Animals. These Kitties are partying but still making an attempt at social distancing. This one of my favourite stamps - but I haven't been able to used it much because it was so difficult to stamp a nice dark image and the kitties tails always looked unkept and unbrushed with the patchy ink. I found these stamps last week when I was searching for my Asian stamps and decided to give them another go using Misti to get a nice dark image. What did we do without Misti? I was able to get a nice coverage of ink and enough ink on the image to emboss it. This makes the kitties tails and faces look so well cared for now.
The second challenge is the CAS Cloudy Days challenge. To create a card using grey, black and white. The grey frame around the kitties is really a soft metallic grey. I had a very hard time not putting a splash of red n this card and also had to resist colouring the kittens eyes blue.
Hope you enjoy.

I know what you mean about not being able to add that pop of color! Despite sticking to the rules, this is awesome. Gorgeous Siamese kitties for us today.

Fab images and such a great card sketch for them! Cute, cute, cute. Yes, the MISTI has allowed me to get out stamps I never liked due to poor coverage and now I love them. Another excuse for not letting things go - you never know what the next invention will be!!!
Super card, Helen. Hugz
