Another Spring Flight

i tried this layout a couple cards back and really enjoyed it. so this time, i used mostly scallops. everything is scalloped except the DP paper. i like how this card turned out.

images were colored with prismas, gamsol, and SU markers. then i added stickles for highlights.

clouds were done with a cloud kit by great impressions.

circle scallops were cut with nesties. stright scallops were cut with an SU scallop pumch.
bottom left circle scallop: prismas, brad, MS fern punch, 1 3/8 circle punch.

Kitty Sympathy

made this card for a friend who had to put down her poor old sick kitty. he was 16 years old. they were really super close. i have a 12 year old cat and couldnt imagine putting her down, or her ever leaving me. sooo i thought it would be a good idea to make her a sympathy card.
