It's Okay, I'll be there for you!

Another cutie from Digi My World.  This is an exclusive kitty image called, Oliver.  So, so adorable.  Don't you think?

What i did:
I used 3 Birds- "Life's a Party" cartridge for the circle base card and for the aqua mat.  i embossed the aqua mat using the large dotted cuttlebug folder.  Then i cut out the scalloped doilies using Elegant Edges, but instead of lining them up to match i rotated them, to give more of a "bloom" effect.
I added a bit of black baker's twine to the fold.
I colored the image using the following copic markers:
Fur E81, W3
Patches-E97, 99
Nose & eyes- N0, C3, black multiliner
Yarn- BG10, 01
