Wild Rose Studios Kitty!

Hi everyone, 

I am here with the 2nd entry i sent for the Cardmaker of the year, now as i said, i know some of you will think i don't stand a chance but you have to be in it to win it, so you never know!

I haven't made a card like this for AGESSSSS.  

The image is a stamp from Wild Rose Studios and is coloured with promarkers.

The paper is Lili of The Valley, as is the sentiment.

The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts and are smothered with Stickles.

I just noticed the gems in the top are wonky on the photo!!

All die cuts are done on the Silhouette Portrait.
