Love at First Sight - Paper Smooches Monthly Challenge Entry

Hello Lovelies ! This month is all about LOVE. Do you believe in love at first sight ? For me? Absolutely ! I was smitten by these cute kitties from Paper Smooches stamp sets (Chubby Chums & We Adore You) that I had to match them up in a card. This is what I came up with... 

I used Canson XL watercolor paper for this one layer card. There were some masking to be done as the chubby kitty has to be hidden behind the fence peeping at his love in the flower garden. First, I stamped the girl kitty (paper smooches - We adore You stampset), then masked her before I stamped the fence (MFT - Hog Heaven stampset) across the centre of the card. Finally, I masked the fences and stamped chubby cat (Paper smooches - Chubby Chums stampset). I used distress ink - antique linen color to stamp all my images because I would be doing no line water coloring.

For the thinking bubble, I cut out a cloud shape mask big enough to enclose my sentiment. I then used distress inks to watercolor the background sky (spun sugar, tumble glass, squeezed lemonade) and grass (mowed lawn, squeezed lemonade, pine needles). Then I water colored all other images using distress ink markers, stamped the sentiment using Versafine onyx black ink, added 3 little hearts and my card is done !

Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day !!

Lots of Love,
Amy
