Pastel Puss Collection

In my collection of stamps I have a cat motif and a simple flower motif that I have been wanting to use for a while. I am not sure whether they were originally in the same pack and I wish I knew where the cat was from as I love the style of this stamp. If I find out I will come back and include a link to the maker/designer. Until then I thought I would use this stamp as part of a pastel puss collection. Hope you enjoy!

Primrose Puss:   Puss cat Primrose was made using one of the yellow designed sheets from the Mambi Sheets pack by 'me and my BIG ideas'. I picked up this paper pad from a local discount store and I have been itching to use this paper as it really is good thick stock with lots of gorgeous designs. Using three shades of yellow from my Spectrum Noir Pastels pack I coloured in the cat and flowers to reinforce the yellow theme. With this card I added a small strip of ribbon before adding my 'Best Wishes' tag which I stamped with Starlite Black Ink and gave the tag a distressed look with dabbing small amounts of 'Platinum Planet' ink - both from the Dew Drop range.

Pot Pourri Pink Puss:

I used some of my scrap papers (you might recognise this from one of my other projects) and I had just a small section left that luckily would fit in with this theme. Again, the cat and flowers were coloured in with three shades of pink from my Spectrum Noir set and a simple ribbon strip was added to tidy up the join between the patterned paper and the cat strip.

Good Luck Green Puss: This patterned paper was also from the Mambi Sheets collection. It wasn't a deep green pattern but just enough to keep the pastel feel for this card. Keeping the strip with the cat and flowers the same made it a lot easier just to place this strip but just to give it an extra finish I added the simple green ribbon strip along between the patterned and cat section.

Periwinkle Puss: I love blues in fact these are probably my favourite colours of all. Its a shame I did not have some lavendar blue pens as this would really have helped with the flowers but instead I used a greyish blue on the large petals. To make sure that the blue was a bit more pronounced I used the violet blue polka dot paper for the patterned side. If I was making this card again I probably would have used a ribbon or different Washi Tape for the strip although I do like the effect of this card I think there would be a few tweaks next time.
