Yesterday I shocked many of my followers by posting a card with a dog image instead of a cat so today, I'm making up for that. :-D This sweet feline "Homework Helper" is from a set of the same name available at Deedee's Digis. See the photo of the full set at the bottom of this post.
Those of you who share your lives with felines will totally understand this image. Regardless of what you are trying to accomplish, the cat must be in the middle of it! Even my teenage granddaughters know about the kind of homework help cats give. No matter, we love them and reward them for loving us enough to be there for us. :-D
To make this card, I started with a sketch from Sweet Sketch Weds. but flipped it, top to bottom.
The image is colored with ProMarkers and cut into a square. I inked the edges and layered it onto a die cut, square, lace doily. That went onto dp from Forever in Time, their "Perfect Prints" pad. I added sparkly ribbon (made with twine and narrow double stick tape), then a two layer flower to which glitter had been added. I used another of my favorite die cut leaf stems (Cheery Lynn) with glitter added to those also. I put a full stem of leaves above with the flower and three individual ones at the lower left. Finally, I added the small pearls to the three leaves and to the opposite corner above.
Although this feline is supposedly helping with homework, I think it would be a great card just to tell someone they're not alone.
