One More Time at SUYP Challenge!

I was moving my stamps downstairs when this little kitty stamp by Viva Las VegaStamps fell on the floor.  I have never used it before and I knew I had to enter him at Ike's Show Us Your Pussycats Challenge this month.  Then the search began for a sentiment and once again I stumbled upon the Krispy Kreme stamp also by Viva Las VegaStamps.  First, I must explain that I LOVE Krispy Kreme doughnuts and there are none closer than hour to me.  So I often dream of them 😼!  I transferred my love of them to the kitty and he does look like he is wistfully thinking of them.

I taped the watercolor paper down with masking tape for a crisp, white border and it actually came out perfect when it dried and I removed the tape. I used Koi Sakura watercolors. Instead of leaving it alone!.....I inked the edge with Distress Ink which I promptly smeared and lost my border :(   I colored him up with Prisma colored pencils after I painted around the image!  AJ inspired me to try it and I only had one uh oh!  I attached the image panel to some canvas paper that I painted in almost ATC size, each a different color from my acrylic paint palette.  I also inked the edges of it and was not happy with the result but a couple pieces of washi tape from a Daiso store in Japan made me a little bit happier!   The lovely doughnut store logo was stamped on another scrap of canvas paper.
I am entering this into Ike's SUYP Challenge for January. 😸
