Enabler Alert: Another Pink Cat

I've been having fun with these Pink Cat Studio images. They're so much fun... you should all buy some and tell her I referred you! BWAHAHAHAHA! :) When I purchased this plate I thought this particular image was a librarian kitty. The more I played with her I realized she's just a tres chic fashion kitty! LOL. I started this card out with this patterned paper from the Blitzen Basic Grey line in mind.

I stamped the parisian kitty on Whisper White with Stazon Black and colored her in with prismacolors and mineral spirits. I then stamped her again on the Blitzen paper and cut out just the scarf and glued it on, so she has a fashionable coordinating scarf! Next I took a negative punch of the Stampin Up Small Oval Punch and used my grey prismacolor pencil and mineral spirits to give her an oval shadow beneath. I thought this was a pretty clever idea I had! LOL! :)

For my doodling challenge I tried something new. I used my mat pack to pierce all around the cat panel and then used a Micron .03 black pen to doodle semi-circles connecting each hole to form mini scallops. I drew curly cues in each corner and then dotted in each scallop.

Next I used my Stamp-a-majig to stamp in a semi meandering path along the side of a 5.25 x 4" piece of the Blitzen paper. I then added some black L'il Davis Designs stitched ribbon (secured with Terrifically Tacky Tape) and matted alternating panels with Basic Black. Accented with a prima and Making Memories rhinestone brad and highlighted her glasses and the center of each paw with a mixture of Dazzling Diamonds and Crystal Effects. Doesn't she look classy?

OH... and I want to give a big shout out to my girl Cindy over at My Inky Fingers (Her blog is awesome, so if you haven't, you should check it out! ETA: And she's giving out a triple scoop of blog cany-liciousness this weekend, too!). I got not one, but two amazing RAK's from her this week! The first one is just gorgeous and came complete with my very own box of chocolate covered espresso beans! These are my absolute favorite treats and they're really hard to find in my neck of the woods. She has assured me that they grow on trees in her back yard so I just have to go visit her! :) Isn't this card delish??? I just love the yummy papers, the textures, and the fabulous ribbons and hardware....oh and who can resist chocolate covered espresso beans?

And since she does have a chocolate covered espresso bean tree..... I booked my ticket! I'm gonna go VSN with my pal Cindy and her friend Jennifer! Woohoo! To celebrate she sent me this adorable penguin card! Isn't it awesome how the fiber exactly matches the grass skirt on the penguin? So cute!
