Oh, my, what a fierce creature! Just look at those vicious fangs!
I'm really crazy about Heather Valentin's digis and use them as often as possible but I found this one in the $1.00 Retiring section on Sunday and without any doubt, it's my favorite of anything she's ever drawn! I'm sorry to see it retired and am so glad I got it before it was gone forever. I wish I could talk Heather into doing an entire series with this darling Sabrina Smilidon! Without further ado --
Sabrina is colored with ProMarkers and I added clear embossing powder (heat embossing) to the flowers and her little butterfly for the shine. The image is die cut with a Deckled Rectangle die from Spellbinders. I ran the card front through my "Linen" embossing folder, then adhered the matted image. The largest flower has layers punched from hand-made paper and embossed by using a stylus to make the lines in the petals. The other flowers and leaves were in my stash and I added the tiny pearls and the gem stone for a little bit of girly flash. CAS but for the flowery embellishments.

ABC Challenges -- 2 kinds of embossing
Crafty Boots -- Animals
Creative Creations -- Anything goes

I hope you love this frighteningly adorable smilidon as much as I do. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
