Just flying by ........

Happy Tuesday .......

Well May didn't seem to last very long .......... Welcome to June!

Are you ready for a new CAS Mix Up Challenge?

We have a Watercolour Challenge this month, and our host is the lovely Viv, who has chosen the theme ...... Flight

  

Oooh, so many options to choose from for this one.  It can be absolutely anything that is flight related, anything with wings for instance like ......... birds, fairies or aeroplanes even.   Butterflies, dragonflies, bees and insects, or ...... cute little kitty cats!!!??

I found this Penny Black stamp in my stash, and thought it was perfect for this challenge ...... he looks so cute flying along with his balloons!

I watercoloured the sky with a wash of blue Distress Ink, 

and then used a damp wet wipe to dab on some white paint for the clouds.

I stamped the little kitty cat, watercoloured the image with various colours of ZIG markers, and fussy cut around him.

I trimmed the bottom edge of the painted panel using a stitched edge die, and attached it to the front of my card blank, adding a sentiment underneath.

I attached the flying kitty using a small wobbler, so that he moves when you pick up the card ..... so cute!

I also added some birds in flight to the background for a little more interest.

I just love this little kitty, so I had to add him to the inside of the card too .......

We have a fabulous Guest Designer this month .......  Joyce (Cards-by-the-Sea) is joining in the fun so please pop by and say hello.
