February PBSC Reminder card

Hi everyone.  I'm Guest Designing for Penny Black Saturday Challenge (Love is in the Air or Anything Penny Black goes this month.  So fun playing with my new Penny Black stamps!  Thanks to Helen and team for letting me join them this month!
I stamped my sweet kitty and envelope image (Love Everywhere) onto mixed media panel using black ink and then heat embossed in clear.  I used the matching die (Love Everywhere Cut Out) to die-cut the image before watercolouring with distress inks (Candied Apple, Wilted Violet, Black Soot).  I added white polka-dots to the envelope using my white Posca pen, winked the heart with clear sparkle, and finally added crystal glaze over the heart.  I used a thin piece of foam on the back to pop the kitty-filled envelope over top of a bokeh background (made by sponging different sizes of circles with red, purple, and white ink, some over top of each other, to create this fun background.

This sweet kitty tugs at my heart strings.  :)
