Happy Release Day! Today The Cat Pack and Swanky Stampers are busting out all over our June Release. If you came from Julie Masse’s Blog, then you are at the end of the hop. If not, then go back to the beginning, to Lisa Henke‘s blog. Believe me when I say that you won’t be sorry. Because not only is it Release Day, but it’s TCP Tuesday. So that’s a double, yummy!
It’s a Color Challenge this week and Kelli Hull is the Hostess with the Mostess. She is challenging you to use Kraft, Rose and Vanilla in your card or project.
I was so tempted to use one of our NEW Cutables in the challenge because all proceeds for the next two weeks go to the Masse Adoption Fund, but this card just was calling out to be made. Have you ever had that happen?
I usually do a lot of color on my cards, but this year I am challenging myself to stretch myself creatively. So for this card, I am doing an almost monochromatic card. I stamped the sentiment from the Simple Blooms set on the biggest panel of the Circus Panels CutUps and added a small butterfly from the Butterflies CutUps.
The rest of the card was super simple. I used the Petal Posies to cut the flowers from a white panel. What was left, I embossed. Then added the Petal Posies back to the panel. So very easy.
When you open the card three colorful Petal Posies pop out. And, the sentiment, which is from Nature’s Hello is stamped in Vintage Sepia and embellished with another one of the butterflies from the Butterflies CutUps.
I hope you had a great time this week and hopping through The Cat Pack and Swanky Stampers blogs. They are so amazingly talented. Thank you so much to Christine Okken, Brenda Nakandari, Christine Veneruso, Linsey Rickett and Kyra Sanders, our Swanky Stampers for playing along with us and making me look good.
I hope that you play along in our TCP Tuesday Challenge. We’d love to see what do.
