MO'S CUTE CAT

I have been wanting to colour up this cutie for some time now, but wasn't confident in my colour skills to attempt a ginger cut.  Here is my first attempt at a ginger cat:

The image is by Mo Manning (it has her signature), but I can't find it in the store. The colouring medium is alcohol markers and a white gel pen.  Here is a close-up of the kitty image: 
After colouring, I used a round die to cut it out and popped it up on foam squares onto a circular template to which I added some stitching detail.  I have sewn on some little pink sequins using pearl beads. 
to complete the card I used 5 pink roses, and pink satin ribbon and a bow.

For the inside of my card I used the photograph of the image, changed the colours to monochrome, and added a sentiment:


I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
MO'S DIGITAL CHALLENGE, #160 (C is for ... cat, catch, cute, coiled rose stems, card)
