"A Cup Full of Happiness" Kitty in Pink, Black and White


Hello Friends!
I usually pick my papers the find a ribbon to match but this time, I did just the opposite. Bonnie from Really Reasonable Ribbon sent me this gorgeous Mauve Satin ribbon and I just had to play with it.
I used my "Cup Full of Happiness" illustration, that I did for Clear Dollar Stamps, and did the kitty in black and white. The beautiful papers are from The Paper Temptress. They are: Heavenly White, Vintage Silver Lustre and Black Pearl Glossy.

Thanks again for stopping by. Hope you have found a little inspiration!
Hugs,
True :D

Another card made with my "A Cup Full of Happiness" stamp



Hello again!
I thought I would share another card with you that I did using the stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamp's July releases. It is called "A Cup Full of Happiness" and it comes with the image and lots of sentiments.

The one I showed you on Wednesday looked like my cat Nother (I know.... weird name). LOL! 
Today's card, I painted to look like my P-Diddy Kitty. Gotta show love evenly! ;)
