I have been doing a little bit of coloring and so I decided to make a card to play in a few challenges.
The stamps I used are from Whimsy's newest release. Did you get to see all the latest Whimsy products, including the new line of photopolymer stamp sets, which is in addition to the red rubber stamps! And don't forget the matching dies. The new photopolymer stamps are made here in the US and they stamp beautifully. I cannot tell you how much I wish another one of my favorite stamp companies would have their clear stamps made in the US. It makes such a big difference!!
I didn't use a clear stamp on today's card, as there is a separate DT for the Clearly Whimsy line, but I was sent a clear set and that is how I know that they stamp so beautifully!
To make this card I stamped the image Miyako and Kate from Whimsy's Sandy Allnock Designs onto kraft card stock using versafine onyx ink. I decided to get out my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and do some pencil coloring.
The "frame" I used behind the sentiment and butterfly are from the rubber set Tabula Rasa by Whimsy's Raindrop Echo Designs. I simply cut it out using my cutterbee scissors and inked up the edges. The little sentiment is part of the set Miyako and Kate. It actually comes with several great sentiments. Designer papers are from MME. Butterfly was punched out using a Martha Stewart punch. Added some twine and glitter to finish it off.
I am playing along in the following challenges:

Saw your card on Pumpkin Spice and had to get a closer look! Love the image....so sweet kitty getting a hug. Love the colors you chose and how you kept your tag white to draw attention to the sentiment.
