Meowy Christmas!

Hello to all.  I have a dear friend who has a young cat who recently experienced her very first snowfall (the cat not the friend).  The cat was not impressed!   

I thought this may just make my friend laugh and seemed a suitable festive greeting!

The image from CC Designs is coloured with  Polychromos and Prismacolor pencils and has some gel pen detail.  

I have coloured this one on Neenah white card.  It takes the pencils well (not quite as smoothly as the Neenah kraft card) and blends beautiful with paper stumps and blending solution.  

Snow and frost are glitter and Stampendous Frantage.

I have almost reached the end of my Christmas crafting, perhaps a few other colourings to share before the big day.

Happy crafting fun to all!
