Sylvester Kitty Cat

Give cheer Give a Cheer
Favorite

This is a LO of my cat, Sylvester. =D This is the first negative space LO I've done. I never used to like them, but lately I've been drawn to them and decided to try one myself.

-I applied Tim Holtz distress inks (Aged Mahogany, Black Soot) to the edges of the white cardstock with a Q-Tip.
-I used some paper scraps to put behind the pictures (I have way too many scraps, I need to be getting rid of them!)
-I cut the plain red mat with scalloped-edged scissors and traced that pattern around the inside with a white gel pen.
-The black flourishes are from a clear stamp, and I added some gems to the ends of the flourishes for a bling effect (kind of hard to see here)
-The red flourishes are hand-doodled
-The flower consists of 2 yellow, 1 white, and 1 red flower and is attached with a silver brad
-I used vellum paper behind both pictures (to the top left of the left pic and the bottom right of the right pic) -- it's kind of hard to see here.
-I wrote "Sylvester Kitty Cat" beneath the paw print paper
-I added a yellow bow at the bottom and 3 yellow ribbons (attached with silver brads) to the side of the photo.
