myasperations 6-8-2022

I wanted to make another card to enter into the Simon Says "Little Critter" challenge, and this sweet kitten from WinkWinkInk is the perfect fit. The background is made with a postcard from my stash. I’m entering this card into several challenges, including Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge-Inspiration Photo (my card includes the required grey, plus orange and red- although I think that all the colors in the photo show up in the chalked lettering! My “twist” is  Positive Thoughts.)

Supplies: 
·   Digi- WinkWinkInk  Digital Stamp (Catnap)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Sparkly Heart Stickers- Dollar Store
·   Inside Sentiment- TLC Creations Freebie (You Are Awesome)
·   Pioneer Black Photo corners- available from several sources
·   All other items from my stash.
