Welcome to the August reveal for Scraps of Darkness.
The great thing about the Scraps of Darkness kit is that it is packed with versatile products that allow you the freedom to create art to fit your mood. And the mood of this months kit is fun, flirty Summer boldness. Summer seems to be slipping past us rather quickly. This kit will help us capture a little more of summer 2012 to hold onto forever. We all want to do that, I bet.

I also created this to meet the criteria for Case file #32 of CSI - Color, Stories, Inspiration.
The testimony criteria was to journal a transformation. I also used the word calm to describe part of her experience. You'll need to read on....gotta see the unique way Kitty gets transformed. Boy oh boy does Kitty get transformed.

So let's figure out what Kitty's up to, shall we?
She is enjoying the Summer and all that it has to offer. A calm peaceful float around a pool is a great way for Kitty to keep cool and refreshed. There is a tiny itty-bitty problem - a sharp side to this cat tale. Claws.
Kitty does get pampered with pawdicures often, but plastic rafts and Kitty nails don't make for a successful combination.

Any guesses as to what happened?
I recall a certain photo of Kitty with a swim mask and snorkel. Quite a transformation.

If you want to see Kitty's transformation, go to her blog. http://escapekitty.blogspot.com/

This was also created using the sketch from Charlotte Jenkins, suepup. Thanks again, Charlotte for your continued inspiration.

I used the Dusty Attic Pots and Columns DA0546 and painted with Adirondack acrylic paint in Snow Cap.

And Kitty THANKS YOU for your time.
