Ballerina Kitty 3 by Aurora Wings

Hello friends!  The 2021 Cat Lovers Hop is going on right now on Her Peaceful Garden.   It ends on October 30 so there is still time to join in.  So, what are you waiting for?  

I am so excited to join the Hop this time.  For my card, I have selected the gorgeous "Ballerina Kitty 3" image by Aurora Wings.  What a delightful and sweet kitty!  I coloured her up with Copics and Polychromos.  

I made my own template for the piano keys, and the black keys are raised with 3-D foam.  It took a long time to create but I am very happy with the result.  The orange flower is handmade.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I hope to see you again.  Have a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Daisy Elf by Aurora Wings

 Hi friends!  I decided to make a clean and simple card using the sweet "Daisy Elf" image by Aurora Wings.  I wanted to add some interest, so I used an embossing folder by Darice called "Scroll Flourish Corner".

This sweet little elf is coloured with Copic markers, as is the butterfly.  The lovely "Leanna Butterfly" die is by Memory Box.  I added glitter to the elf's wings and the butterflies' wings.

That's all from me today. Thank you for visiting. I wish you a wonderful day. Hugs, Lori  xx

The Swarovski crystals on the butterfly's body are from my stash.
