Get Krafty and Smooch...


Inside front of card
Paper Smooches March Inspiration

Inspired by this gorgeous floral wreath hanging from this fortnight at Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge, I created this cloud wreath card, featuring Paper Smooches March free digi download squirrel and the clouds, kite and sentiment stamps from Paper Smooches Sunny Side Up set.  There is a lot of pop-dotting in the cloud wreath!  I cut out the centre of the wreath from the card so that when you open the card, the back of the kite reads "Thanks for the Lift". I was tempted to change the Hi to High, but decided to leave it ;)  The images, apart from the digi-download were stamped in black Momento ink, and coloured to highlight the pinks and greens from the inspiration photo using Copics Rose Mist (R83), Yellow Green (YG03), Sepia (E37), Sand (E33), and Barley Beige (E11).  With all this kraft this card is perfect for this weeks "Get Krafty" Challenge over at The Pink Elephant too.

Hope your spirits soar today :)
