KLSNS Challenge #30

Wow, it's the weekend already!  That means it is time for another challenge over at KLSNS.  This week Risa Challenged us to "Show some love to our Animal Friends".   

I chose High Hopes Scuba Kitty for my card.  This is such a fun image!  I colored it with my copics (no surprise there) and then added Crystal Effects to the water puddle, water drops, fish bowl and the goggles (although I forgot how long this stuff takes to dry when using so much ~ I should have done it after I put the image on the card, but no, I had to do it on the plain unmatted image and then wait for it to dry in order to finish up my card.....).  The Designer Papers I used are from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey collection ~ I tend to gravitate to these papers when using a water type image.  The dark blue patterned paper was embossed and then sanded to show the white.  I also embossed the turquoise panel on the front.   I dug through my button stash and found this cool blue and white one ~ I just wish I had more like it!   

We would love to have you join in our challenge this week and see what animals you decide to showcase (somehow I'm thinking Dogs and Cats will be the most represented).  Stop on over at the KL Stamping N Scrappin blog for all the challenge details and to see some wonderful eye candy from the rest of the Design Team.  

Enjoy your weekend :)
