Guest Designing with the EIC #130!

Hooray for Saturdays!! Not only because, well, it's SATURDAY (!), but also because it means I get to spend another day guest designing with the Etsy Inspired Challenge! Woot!! And guess what... I still had my paints out!


This time the impact of the paints is a little less, but I thought they made a nice background for this fun kitty image. Especially because I was inspired by this gorgeous painting from this week's Etsy inspiration - Artwork by Lori!


Love love love this sweet kitty and the butterflies! Lori also has two other wonderful shops, The Royal Bead and Hip Heart. I just love ALL of Lori's work!!

Now make sure and head on over to the Etsy Inspired Challenge blog and check out the full contest details - including the prize info!! And also visit the rest of the fabulous EIC team:


The deadline is next Friday, March 18 at noon PST. I hope you'll play along!

  • Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic markers
