So on Saturday night whenever one else was tripping the light fantastic, I decided to sit down with my Copics to test my luck with some coloring. No exaggeration but I colored 14 images and only saved two. This image, an IRAK from Jan, made the cut. I actually really like how it ended up mixed here with some DP from Kioshi (Basic Grey) and the Friday Sketchers sketch. I added some May Arts ribbon and a flower I made from the scraps of the card base.
Positive note of the day: We got T a kitty today. His name is Skipper, he's three years old and he's black (did you know that 1/3 of shelter cats are black?). I didn't give the kids much choice...I told the worker we wanted a cat who could keep up with an active household and to find us a match. Skipper had been in the shelter since before Christmas and had played with lots of kids during the winter holiday day camps. Our kids weren't picky (maybe because I told them not to be!) and I think T was happy that we had taken one of the least desirable cats home (Skipper had been there for almost three months and there isn't a thing wrong with him...I guess people just fell in love with the prettier tabbies, siamese and calicos). He is getting fixed today and then we have to pick him up at five tonight. T can talk of nothing else!Fun Thing I Found on the Web:

What a beautiful card...great colouring and I love the way you have attached the ribbon. I am sure you and the kids will have lots of fun with the new kitten.
Interesting the colors you went with for the flower. I don't have mine on my blog yet but I went with oranges...probably to compensate for the real ones that dog dug up and ate. They always bloomed so much later than others because of the sheltered area I planted them inand I had some pretties for weeks after other people's had wilted. Where is spring????
absolutely love this card. congrats on picking the worst of the litter!
You nailed it! Beautiful coloring and card - love the colors you picked. Keep on with it - it's all about light source and shading. Try some things you think may not work and you might be surprised that they do. I'm with Joan - glad you got the kitty you did. I love cats - wish we could have one.
That card is gorgeous! You did a great job with the Copics! Have fun with that kitty!
Oh so stunning Allison! I love your colors and fab take on the sketch!!HUGS
