S2GSC#46 Cheshire Cat


This week over at Shirley's 2girls sketch challenge they want you to use the digital image they are giving as a freebie (Cheshire Cat). I'm not a cat lover but what the heck it's only a card and I did have fun making it. I colored the image with copic markers , cut it out with spellbinders curved rectangles, sponge around edge with antique linen while still in the die. Paper pierced the swirls and connected holes with black marker for faux stitching. C/S was co-ordinations and Bazzil, DP unknown.
