Waiting:

 This is Escape Kitty's cat brother, StayBehindCat as he waits by the door eagerly waiting for Escape Kitty to return home from her Australian adventure.  I actually think he is interested in any souvenirs that she may bring back for him, but he whole heartedly denies that.  I'm thinkin some exotic catnip mouse or maybe a new scratch post. hmmm?

This was created using the wonderful sketch by Michelle Grant, at Dusty Attic.   She has such a talent for design - thanks Michelle.    The sketch features the soon-to-be released door frame, keyholes and mail box. 

The doorframe has been painted with Adirondack paint in Snow Cap, then in Sandal.  After that, I applied some white gesso onto a stamp and made my way around the doorframe.  I topped with a pretty Melissa Francis resin piece. 

Here, the mailbox was also finished the same way except that I added some delicate flower rub-ons to the mailbox for the garden effect.

Both the mailbox and the doorframe, with keyholes will be released at Dusty Attic soon.  I was lucky and blessed to get these as sneak previews.
