Sweet Sketch Wednesday #66 - Meljens Designs

Melissa is offering our Sweet Sketch Wednesday winner 4 digis of your choice! So pop on over and play along. Here is the sketch that Arlana has put together for us.


And here is my card:

This image is called A Girl and Her Kitty. I just loved it right away. It brought back a lot of childhood memories when I saw it. I remember always having a cat and always carrying it around with me. Sometimes the poor thing would have to suffer through being dressed up in my doll clothes! It was always fun! I used my Copics (RV11, B14, E37, YR24, E00, E33, and BV11) to color her.
I used cardstock from the DCWV Shimmer Stack and the DPs are from the Paper Studio All Seasons pack. The plaid DP is from DCWV Sweet Matstack with glitter. The ribbon was found at Jo-Ann's. The cats were cut from my Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge with paper from my stash.
