Escape Kitty stepping out in style - with Flying Unicorns June Kit

Escape Kitty thinks it's time to get fancy and dress up. And she'd be correct...you can find her story here on her blog. 

because the Flying Unicorn has released it's June's 2014 Your Passion. Your Art. It features the long awaited release of the newest collection from Riddersholm Designs Tailgate Marked !

So put on your hat and let Kitty show you what she's done with the kit....

It's so fitting that Kitty is surrounded with butterflies.    Nothing more fun than to sit outside and watch the butterflies flutter about.
Of course they  taunt and tease each other - Kitty trying to swipe a paw at them and the butterflies bombing  and buzzing past her head. It's quite a game to watch.    Yet in the end, the butterflies always win and flutter on their way to a flower or branch.

Kitty's garden retreat includes a water fountain (by Prima of course - Ingvild Bolme).  She loves to lap up the clean,fresh, cool water right from the fountain.  Sometimes she'll splash her paw in it.  The look on her face when the splash hits her nose is priceless.   If you have never seen a Kitty look surprised, well now that's quite an experience. 

Here are some side views to see the dimension of the butterflies. 

Kitty also used the most amazing and gorgeous metal dies from Prima Marketing as delicate accents to her page.  She has included a product list at the bottom on the post. 

Thanks for looking here and spending some time with my Kitty.

Flying Unicorns and CSI- Colors Stories Inspiration team up - Case file 125

The Flying Unicorns are guests at CSI -Colors, Stories, Inspiration all month. It's a unique and fun color challenge site..

This months colors are soothing to me like a day at sea.   I have a photo that I got from the US Library Of Congress' Flickr Project that I liked for the color  palette.  The Vanitie was a beauty of a yacht that sailed in the America's Cup sailing competition in the early part of 1914. This particular photo is from 1910-1915 and photographed by Bain News Service.  

If you are unfamiliar with how this is played, you must create a layout.  It must contain two elements from the Evidence list and one from the Testimony.

My evidence :

1.  I used something puffy as I added paper towels to my background and adhered them with gel medium. 
2. I used resins
3. I used scallops.....hehehehe as in sea shells. 

 My Journaling:
There is nothing more comforting than the sea. 

I used Prima Marketing to help decorate my page. 

This is the crew of the Vanitie.

The top of the photo has the word Resolute scratched out.  This was taken by a news service and apparently mislabeled this boat as the Resolute.  The Resolute was the other sailboat chosen to compete against the Vanitie.   The two boats were rivals in the sea for the America's Cup.  The Resolute was the victor.

What I love about these images is the raw gritty nature of the photo.  100 years old and still amazingly haunting.

Come play along at CSI with us and join the fun.   You can find case file 125 here.
Come join in the fun at the Flying Unicorns as well.
