Hot Flash Cat Card

Been there, done that...but this is a card that I'll have great fun giving to a friend and I have a few about to enter that twilight zone.  I colored this cat when the temperatures were in the 90's and the humidity almost as high for the daily marker 30 day challenge on Instagram.  If you ever have the chance to join, do it!  It's a great time and there's a lot of talented and creative people that join in.

Boo Y'all Halloween Card

The grim reaper doesn't have to be scary and this bunny proves it.  I added silver Wink of Stella to the blade to add a metallic touch.  I did not fussy cut the area between his shoulders and ears - I matched the paper with a Copic marker...much easier.  I did an insert for the inside of the card for the saying.
