A Reason to Smile

Hello Blog Friends, I have a fun card to share with you - using an image I picked up at a sale - there are a lot of different adorable cats in this set and I look forward to using them on some cards.  I also picked up the band-aid tin on sale because it was printed upside down - but love it as a prop - and yes - it has band-aids in it with cats on them - awwww!! 


The image has been trimmed and popped behind a frame, which is from my stash - if you know who it is by - please let me know and I will add it to my post.  The pink/coral paper is from Graphic 45, the striped paper is by My Minds Eye and the plain paper from Authentique Paper - quite a mix there!  My layers have all been cut/embossed using A2 Curved Matting Basics and the Grand Calibur Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.


The embellishments are from DEEP down in my stash - I believe they are from Stampin' Up! and definitely retired - but perfect for this card, especially when they are coated using Imagine Crafts ‘featuring’ Tsukineko irRESISTibles in Shimmer.   Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Adhesive Runner have also been used on this card.
