You're Pawfect


Here's another cutie patootie from The Alley Way Stamps Sittin' Pretty stamp set that was released this month.  Tomorrow, we will start showing you some SNEAK PEEKS for February over at The Alley Way Stamps blog!  Mark your calendars to stop by the TAWS blog each day this week for a chance to win free stamps!  We all love free stamps, right?!



I was inspired to use the CAS(E) this Sketch #12, even though clean and simple is not my forte, and the Pinspired Challenge #2....LOVE the soft wintery colors from the Pinspired Challenge:)




I inked up the kitty and sentiment stamp in Black Stazon and then shaded the kitty with Copics...added a few buttons and twine, since my cards look naked without them:)


Thanks for stopping by the stage!  See you tomorrow for the first day of TAWS SNEAK PEEKS!
