I have a friend who loves cats. She would have a house full if it were possible, and so I made this card for her. The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil, and once we figured out that it was our new spyware that was preventing me from uploading the image, and we got things straightened out, I was off to the races. While now a days, the race is pretty slow, but I had fun with this image.
I used CAS (Clean and Simple) for this card. Nothing fancy except the bows and very few layers. It probably covers a challenge somewhere, but I don't have time to search it out. Here is the front of my card...
The Sentiment is from Flourishes.
I kept the inside simple too, using a smaller version of the same image but colored it with my Prisma Color Pencils instead of Copics. Since the reds tend to bleed, when I tried to color with Copics on this small image they immediately ran outside of the lines, so I started again in pencils.
No dp was used, only SU! cardstock and my Snowflake CB embossing folder. The red ribbon is some generic I ordered from the internet a few years ago.
That's it! Clean and Simple...hope you like it!
Hi Barb! This is I love this, who needs decorative paper when you color like this! My sis in law would really love this kitty Christmas card.

Barb, what a great card and love the little insert inside. Sandi
ReplyDeleteBarb...you did it! Very clean and simple (not too many layers and not too many froo-froo embellies). I think it takes a lot more skill to do a simple card well than a "covered" card. You did this one very well. Love the cats in Christmas hats! I will just have to break down and try some digital images. Scares me to death! Hugs

Awww, Barb, this is precious. Mo's image so cute. And yes definitely clean and simple works here--in fact it will work with all her images, I think. Awesome colouring as always. The inside of your card is equally gorgeous.
