I absolutely adore the image I used on this card today! I also love the idea of a cat and a mouse being besties. :-D The sentiment was printed along with the image, then the image was colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers. After coloring, I cut it using my Fiskars paper cutter. (Reminder to self - it's time to replace the blade. lol) I rounded the corners with a Uchida punch from Marvy.
I found a dark green CS in my stash and cut it to size for the card front, then added a wide strip of dp to the left hand side (scrap from a DCWV stack.) The bow is one of my hand sewn, butterfly-shape bows with a pearl. I spend an entire afternoon hand sewing those by the dozen and tossing them into my stash for future use, sometimes with a pearl, sometimes without. Over the years, I've learned to buy only white ribbon to make those because it's so easy to 'dye' them with markers to get the exact color I want, matching up one of the colors used on the image. This time, I kept the bow white.

What an adorable image and fantastic coloring. I like your idea of creating bows in white and changing colors simply with ink... creative and saves a lot of ribbon space for other things...lol. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Double Trouble.
