 WT694 - Coronation Day

Stamped the Stampendous kitty and colored with colored pencil. The tiara was sent to me in a teapot Tuesday exchange and I thought this yellow kitty needed to wear it.

The sentiment is computer generated. My friend that gave me a yellow kitty will be getting this for Christmas this year. I give him a yellow kitty card every year for Christmas and this is so perfect. The inside is going to say, "Thank you for giving me to a family that understands". LOL!

This darling Heggie was sent to me in a teaparty exchange. I colored him with pencils and sponged in the clouds and grass.

Printed The Paper Shelter image and colored with copics. Sponged in the BG. Die cut the sentiment 3 times in white and layered the gold die cut sentiment on top. Layered the image on dimensionals and die cut some music notes. Finished with the bow tied ribbon.

This card was made for my son's band director who was to retire this year. Well I guess he likes teaching because he is staying another year. So I guess I will hold this card for when he does retire. And even though their show last year was about the brick wall this will still be perfect for his card because every year he tells the kids the brick wall and the importance of each brick and how it holds up the wall. If you want to hear about the Brick Wall and the story behind it you can learn about it on YouTube here: Brick Wall
