Shaped Card - Kitten with Flowers

Shaped Card

Hi friends, this card combines a lot of things I love...die cutting, handmade flowers and experimenting!!
The experiment is my baby steps into coloring stamps! The little kitten with flowers is a clear stamp from Crafty Sentiments I had won way back in 2011[see post] but only now worked up the courage to showcase in a card!

Handmade Flowers

 This card has an array of handmade flowers and here are the dies I used to make them.

Crackle background and handmade roses

 I used a pretty paper from Lemoncraft and added some stenciling with Platinum crackle paste on one corner.

Handmade Rose

 The cute little teapot is a metal charm and so is the little bucket hanging from under the flowers!

Handmade Flowers

The cute kitten was colored with zig watercolor brush-pens and though awash with imperfections I talked myself into using it on this card!
I am not a  natural as far as coloring skills go but slowly trying to actively work up the patience to color stamps and build up the courage to blog my amateur attempts !!
