Oooh I just love these kitties!!  They are so adorable and this one is has captured my heart!!  I pulled out some bright cheery papers (BoBunny Key Lime) and coloured my kitty up to match with my copics.  I added some burlap, twine, and a copper button.  There are some awesome sentiments in this set, but I left one off my card so that I can use it for any occasion.

Hey, guess what?!  This is my 1000th post!  So hard to believe!  For this post I pulled out this super sweet set called Love Birds and made some clean and simple cards.  I stamped them on some Cryogen White cardstock and coloured them with my copics.  I love the shimmery look and feel of this cardstock - but my copics really bleed on it - so I don't tend to use it often.  I added some Doodlebug washi tape and a couple heart sprinkles and called it done!  These will be perfect for my kids teachers' to go along with a little valentine treat!

I coloured up Cinderella and matched her up to some older MME Valentine papers.  I gotta say - that I never colour my image without having first picked the papers - but I did with this one - and I think it turned out o.k.  I added some sparkle to her over skirt layer and her shoe with my Copic Spica pen. I also used a sparkly crystal button to mimic the shoe.
