Hello, all! My oldest nephew Steven graduates from high school this week. Man, where did the time go! I needed a card for him and I thought customizing the crowd of cats in Mama Elephant's The Cat's Meow stamp set would be ideal. I paired it with the Celebration Balloons stamps and dies.

Because Steven LOVES Batman, I altered one of the cats to be wearing a Batman mask.

Then I added Minnie Mouse ears to another cat because Steven's 3-year-old little sister Lexi loves Minnie (or as she says, "Mimi"). I also made sure to add my two gray kitties Sophie and Daphne, plus a colorful cat with a pink star on its face to represent Steven's girlfriend who loves makeup and has had many different colors of hair since I've known her. :)

I colored the entire scene using Copic Markers. For specific colors, please watching the video below. The idea for the striped sweaters on the kitties came from Vera: http://kwdesign.at/2qdHZjM

To finish off the card, I put a thick coat of Ranger Glossy Accents on the balloons.
