On The Lighter Side
Butterfly Kitty is the name of this stamp by Penny Black. I didn’t just take a random notion to make this card — it started out as a child’s card but even though the image is rather child like, the finished card didn’t look quite right for a child. I’m not sure why I feel that way. Maybe it’s the size — 5 1/4″ square. It’s going to be a RAK now because it’s a happy card. This kitty looks like she’s enjoying her day and maybe she can brighten someone else’s day, too.
She’s watercolored with reinkers, the sentiment is embossed and the great big flower is a Sprites Prima. More particulars are listed below.
One last thing…you’ll probably notice at the end of this paragraph that I got myself one of those cool signatures that everyone has these days. I finally checked out the link and, what do you know — it was easy! If you haven’t tried it yet and you’re interested, you can find the instructions here where Katie was nice enough to write a post about how she did it. Have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for stopping by for this very short visit!

Marisa - this is actually a fairly old Penny Black design - think I have it
This is so charming! I love the image, your watercoloring and the pretty colors you chose to work with.
How utterly precious! Somehow I don’t believe a child would truly appreciate the beauty of this card!!
I love that card - you did such a wonderful job coloring, the kitty especially. I love kitty stamps and have alot of Stampendous Fluffles and one Penny Black Christmas Kitty that I rarely use because I find it difficult to color kitties most of the time. Every now and then I get it right. You surely got it right this time. Feel free to RAK me with it
Leslie, your card is adorable and would brighten anyones day
I loved your spring colors, playful kitty, prima, DP, ribbon and EB sentiment. TFS too the signature link. I have definately noticed them and like yours too.
Oh that is just a fun card, it does look more on the grown up side, sure to bring a smile!
Aw, that is so cute! I like how you placed the sentiment in the flower’s center. Yes, that kitty looks very happy, just like my cat was today when she discovered a fly on the window, caught it, and ate it. blech!
It sure brightened mine!
Fantastic card. Great colors and I absolutely adore cats and kittens! rita
How cute! I love Penny Black critters, especially the hedgies and the cats. Your RAK recipient will love it.
Happiest card I have seen all day! I must go and order this stamp right now! Great card! Thanks for the giant smile you put on my face! Deb
