To make my card, I stamped the kitty, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copics, starting with N7.

I blended out from there with N5.

I filled in from there with N3, leaving the paws, tail tip and nose un-colored.

Then I came back with N5 and N7 to add some texture to the fur with small brush strokes.

I stamped the image on a post-it note and cut it out, to serve as a mask. After placing the mask over the image, I sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink.

Sponged Memento Angel Pink.

Sponged Memento Lulu Lavender.

Sponged Memento Desert sand on a diagonal to create the illusion of a bank.

Sponged Memento Grape Jelly.

Stamped the cattails, from Life is Good, with Lulu Lavender ink.

Stamped the cattails again, this time with Grape Jelly and leaving the tips un-inked.

Stamped the butterflies once with Lulu Lavender, then inked up the largest butterfly with Grape Jelly and stamped.

Removed the mask and added a bit of shading under the kitty with Copic markers, N3 and W3.


I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx, White and Vibrant Purple and used an SU Lavender Lace cardbase. I used an EK Success border punch to create the large scallops.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
