For my project I used the stamp set & thin cut You're Pawsome along with the Mix In paper . I have a new kitten and she is grey and black so I just had to colour this cute fluff ball the same. I took some twine that I had laying about and rolled it up in glue and then adhered it to the kitten's paw. I wanted this card to be simple so for the sentiment I stamped on a piece of white daisy CS and then flagged the one edge. The kittens are coloured using the Spectrum Nior TriBlend Ice Grey Blend.

If you came from Joanne's Blog then you are in the right place!

I created 3 cards using backgrounds that I had created.  One is using Gloss Acrylic Spray, one Distress Oxides and the last one is using watercolour paints.

 

This first card I used a sprayed background using Ocean Gloss Spray.  The Butterfly is from our National Scrapbooking Month special.  It has 3 layers.  The 1st is White CS, the end is a watercolour creation the top layer is the Dreamy Holographic Paper.  I added Steel Stickles for embellishment. The sentiment is from Shoot for the Moon.  See the next image for a close up of the layers and holographic paper.

The 2nd card I created I used a Distress Oxide background and the Shoot for the Moon stamp set.  

The final card I made is using a watercoloured paint background.  I placed 3 different colours of paint onto our large block and dragged the paper over top of the paint.  Then I stamped the images and sentiment in black ink.  The stamp set is Floral Borders & Sentiments.

I had so much fun created these cards to share with you.  They are so very different from most things I've shared with you in the past.

For this first card I used watercolour paints that I applied to the large acrylic block in a rainbow, I think used White Cardstock and drug it across the top of the paints.  Next I used the new Sunburst Thin Cut on White Daisy Cardstock to lay overtop the watercolours.  The little chick and sentiment is from the So Tweet Stamp and Thin Cut set.

These 2 cards are using the Floral & Sentiments stamp set.  I used a combination of Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers and other marker in my collection to colour the images.  I love them both.  

Finally, the final card is using our watercolour pencils on the Distress Watercolour paper, I then used the Moments With You Stamp and Thin Cut set to create the card, the embellishments is the Black enamel dots.

I've used the Party Girl Bundle of products, I used Glacier CS for my cardbase, then from there I stamped the party girl and her glass on White CS.  I then stamped the dress portion on the Mulberry/Rose Gold Foil CS and fussy cut the dress out and paper pieced it ontop of the Party Girl.  I was able to find makers in a colour close enough to match the Mulberry to colour her shoes and hair bow.  I really like the simplicy of this card.

This first card I used 2 of the the Bestie series stamps, Oliva and Lucy.  I created the backgrounds using stencils and ink, and acrylic gloss sprays.  The balloons are coloured with Shimmer Brushes.  Too finsh off the card I added some White Dots.

For this card I used Smoothie cardstock for the cardbase, and the multi-window thin cut as a layer.  The pattern under the thin cut is a embossing folder that I inked with Smoothie to give it a soft appearance.  I used Snuggle Up stamp and thin cut set for the images and a sentiment from a well used sentiment set.  Finally, the card is finished by adding some coloured clear sparkles.  

This card was inspired by a card I seen created by a fellow maker.  I inked up white cardstock with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide and used the Floral Thin Cut.  The stamp set is the Daisy Meadows scrapbooking set.  I used the Stitched Scallop Brackets for the sentiment.  Markers used with Coral Blend and Alpine Green Blend.

This card also uses the Daisy Meadows Scrapbooking set, along with the paper from that collection.  The sentiment is actually printed on cardstock from my printer......when you don't have the sentiment, use your computer/printer.

My final card is using the stamp set Cherry Blossoms.  I used the Lattice thin cut for the background.  I hand cut the cherry blossoms.  Finally I added gold glitter gems to finish it off....simple, delicate and lovely.
