Island Music Kitty

Aloha!

I've been coloring a bit while the winds have blown outside. It did not cool it off. The temp in our bedroom with the AC on was in the upper 80s and extremely muggy. Ugh!

This is also for the Inky Paws Challenge #34 - Summer!

I used watercolors on this one. Remind me to wait a bit longer after stamping with Memento black ink because the water still managed to smear the ink a bit (sad face).

Tropical Kitty

Aloha friends,

How is your summer, besides very hot? I know. It's very hot here, too. We had a tropical storm push through with some strong gusts. Now we have to clean up and cut up at least one tree that came down. And on to the card :)

I couldn't wait to get my paws on this new stamp set by Newton's Nook and will enter it into their Inky Paws Challenge 34 - Summer! 

Using color pencils, I gently applied color to the image, then blended with a bit of Gamsol. If you look really closely, I've heat embossed the backgrounds of this card, as well as the next 6 cards or so with pearl embossing powder and a flourish-y background stamp for added interest and texture. It used up almost half the jar of embossing powder doing all the backgrounds!
