{Paper Smooches} April 2015 Release Inspiration


This first card features Big Vases, Twiggy Florets, and Positive Strokes Two from the April 2015 release. I used all three of the vases on my first card, along with Feline Friends (Feline Friends Icons) and a sentiment from Slang Gang. I watercoloured all the vases with Gansai paints, coloured the little tulip with Copic markers and used Pinked Circles to create the broken vase. Does the kitty look regretful? ;)

This second card features Hip Hands, along with Stitched Flourishes and Tiny Hearts. I stamped the images and sentiments using new Ranger Dye Ink Pads (love these bright, beautiful colours) and added stitched flourishes on the top and bottom hands from both directions. The glimmer heart in the centre balances the heat embossed faces on the other two hands.

Both cards are fabulous! I LOVE that naughty kitten card - SOOOOOO my cat! Ha! The colors are so fun and beautiful! The hands card totally cracked me up with the smiley faces on the hands! Ha! So cute! ❤️

Regretful? More like, "why yes, I did!" ;) I love the look of the watercolored vases... even the smashed one! And I really like the hand card -- seems like it's been a while since you made a long card! This one is terrific, especially with those white-embossed details.

I wasn't too interested in the vases until I saw your kitten card. I know a cat who always seems to be in trouble so that 'sorry' look is perfect. Your hands card also made me take a second look at the set. I know that I'd like to make a 'jazz hands' card for someone who theater. Thanks for giving me a new vision.

Just so cute!!! I've never met a cat who regretted being mischievous - guilty? Maybe! Giving your hands a round of applause, as well...
