El Gato Dia De Los Muertos - Karleigh Sue

-
Hello everyone!  I have to share another passion with you all!!!  Right now I just adore making postcards that I can send out to my friends and family.  This is what I'm doing this time for the Karleigh sue inspiration blog.

The base of those postcards is recycled cereal box!  Super cheap right since it's something that would go to the recycling otherwise.  And since it's a postcard it's much cheaper to mail then an actual card!!

When I saw the fabulous image El Gato Dia De Los Muertos I knew that this little cat would be fab for a little postcard to send to my grandmother.

You can see the little making of this in the following video:


And here's the make with the image colored with tritone pencils and polychromos pencil.  The sentiment is a play on word that I did in French and I typed with my brother label maker.  I used a bunch of different stencils as well.

 Hope you like it!!! I sure hope my grandmother will like it!

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

  1. Crafty boots challenges - Use a sentiment
  2. Dream valley challenges - Anything goes
  3. mmmchallenge blog - Anything goes
  4. Quirky crafts - Raining cats and dogs - used a cat here
  5. Robyns fetish challenge blog - use a sentiment
  6. Ikes world challenge blog - Tatty, wetty kitty - Thanks Ike for the heads up and GREAT freebie there.... you should all go and check it out!!!
That's it for me for today!!!  Have a great day.

Hugs

Hello everyone!  It's time for another challenge over at  Digi darlas !  This time it's about winter blues!  Yup I've got them by now.... just really really hate winter and looking forward to the warmth coming back.

Here's a closer look at my digi colored with copics And here's the sentiment from  Create with TLC . I hope you have liked my card and will join us this time at  Digi darlas .
