Hey There! It's Tuesday so gather your Cat's Pajamas stamps and get to work. This is an easy one so no excuses for not participating this week. It's actually, Toni's week to be the Hostess with the Mostess but she's on vacation. Sooooo, I'm stepping up to the plate.
I like to find color challenges within patterned paper from my stash. This one started with fun paper from Scenic Route's North Shore collection. I'm especially taken by the Strip Combo sheets that they make to go with their collections. (I used another one from a different collection on last week's TCPTUES card.) They give you the look of a bunch of coordinating papers cut into strips - but it's really just one sheet of 12x12! The colors for the challenge that I pulled from this paper are Olive, Dark Red, and Sky Blue.
Here's my card featuring the It's A Mod, Mod World Clearly Swanky set. Who could resist Fifi, Poochie, and Sprinkle blasting off to outer space. I used Copic markers to color the images and then added a bit of 'bling' with some Silver Stickles. The ribbon is by We R Memory Keepers. The little medallion was created with Nestabilities dies. Oh, and I did a teensy bit of sewing with my Janome Sew Mini machine...a la Anna Wight, dontcha know!
As usual, visit the other TCP gals (links are on the left) to see what they did with the color challenge and then create your card today!
Post a link to your creation here on my blog by the end of the day on Saturday, June 28th. If you're posting to Splitcoast, use the keyword
TCPTUES13. All entries will be collected and then featured on
Alma's blog in next week's Holey Moley Monday slideshow. Plus, you'll be entered to win the $25 in Cat's Cash and the title of
Swanky Stamper for June. Good luck!
Totally adorable, Leigh! I'm off to work on mine right now!

My patterned paper stash is tiny and most of it clashes with my card stock and inks. So, I usually end up making my own patterned paper. Anyway, I finally got my card done!
