Get out your colors...this week I'm the Hipster Hostess with the Mostess for the CAT'S PAJAMAS color challenge! I love this color combo...CHOCOLATE, SKY BLUE, and KIWI. This is one of my absolute fave combinations....deee-lish! I really hope you'll play along. The Holey Moley Monday Slideshow always looks sooo great when the cards are all in the same colors.
I dug out this great patterned paper from American Crafts...I used it on another TCP card with the little indian penguin a while back. It must have stuck in my brain and popped out again last week when I was putting the color challenge together. It does make a fun background!
Penguin and his fun floatie from the BY THE SEA set really "make a splash" in a sea of scallops. I added some Crystal Effects to the floatie to make it shiny-plastic-like. The buttons and twine are from PTI and the big wide brown ribbon is from SU!
So, get out your TCP stamps and work up something Choco-sky-kiwi colored! Add a link to your creation here at the end of THIS blog post by midnight eastern on Saturday, August 29th. All color challenge cards go into the monthly SWANKY STAMPER contest for $25 in CAT'S CASH! Please used keyword TCPTUES73 when posting to Splitcoast or PCP so that we can all see your colorful card/project.
Oooh...don't forget that the BY THE SEA set is part of this month's KITTY KAT PACK special...great low price for all three new sets!
Holy moly, girl, is this ever delish!
