How cute is this little kitty? My cat will jump up and take my sit the minute it's vacated, and that's what this image reminds me of. It's drawn by Angie Davis and is called Chair Cat.
(click to enlarge)
The image was printed on to watercolor paper and then I colored with copic markers and chalked the background and floor. The chair was colored with black spica marker, and I also outlined the word "wonderful" with a yellow copic spica. The designer paper is embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder.
All the weather people are calling for some really chilly temperatures the next few days and I keep hearing the word "snow" so I've got my fingers crossed we actually get enough to build a snowman! Wouldn't that be a hoot?
Stef has started the color challenges back on the card universe, and this week her colors are turquoise, brown, and olive green. Everyone who participates will be put in a drawing and the winner will get a star. At the end of the month the person with the most stars will win a prize! Sometimes the prize will be a Squigglefly image, but sometimes it will be a fun little goodie, so I hope you all try to play along!
Well, I hope you are all staying warm and I wish you a wonderful day! Thanks for looking!

Hi there Holly. Such a lovely cute image, sitting so prim and proper. I love the colours you have used too, so beautiful.
Have a lovely day.
Love Sandra xx
What a precious image! Yeah, it reminds me of Batman taking over my chair too! Oh those fur babies of ours rule, don't they! I love this DP and the embossing really makes it pop! Your shading on the cushion is FABULOUS too...wish I could get that look! Gonna have to study more! ;)
Hope y'all get more snow...we have bets going on at my house! Mark doesn't put too much faith in our weather man! Teehee...the way my joints are aching, we should get a foot! Just stay warm! :)
Hugs~
Very nice colors together. My cat does the exact samething; even if I just get up for a few minutes to stretch. I think we have a contest to see who can sit in the computer chair faster. She generally wins, too. Collette katshon66@aol.com
Very sweet card! The coloring is awesome, as well as the image. Brings back lots of great memories of cats that I've had in my life. Thanks for the smile!

Oh, I love the card - reminds me of my Baby Cash sitting there. Thanks for a chance to win it. I'm praying you will get a bunch of snow - and if so, send us a picture of that snowman girl.

Reminds me of our family cat Zoey, we had her for 21 years, I got her for my 11th birthday, she was a blue cat anda siamese persian cross! Talk about a cat with attitude!
