Today's the big day at THE CAT'S PAJAMAS so I wanted to share a few more new samples....
From the BY THE SEA Clearly Swanky stamp set...And, as mentioned yesterday, here's Mermaid Sprinkle! This started off as kind of a mermaid sitting on the rocks kinda thing. (Does it remind anyone of one of those Backyardigans episodes? Yea, me too!) But with the sentiment, I think it takes on sort of a "come hither" attitude, don't you? She's a sexy kitty! The patterned papers here are in the Cosmo Cricket Lil Man collection and I sponged some of the edges with Papertrey's Tea Dye duo ink. The big ole ribbon is from Jo-Ann's by Offray and I used my Making Memories slot punch to create the slot to slide it through. The buttons are also from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS. It's all colored up with Copics and I used the airbrush for the water and sky.
Below is the first card that I made when I sat down to work up my new release samples. POOCHIE in his beach chair is also from the BY THE SEA set. For the "S.S. FUN" I used the "Fun in the Sun" sentiment from the FUN IN THE SUN Clearly Swanky stamp set. I only inked up the letters/words that I needed for the title. {Another great selling point for those clear stamps!} Again, all colored up with the Copics. I airbrushed the sky and sea by tearing a post-it note and using it to mask off different sections. The card itself is made using the Nestabilities Scalloped circle die and the life preserver is made by using two Nestabilities circle dies at the same time to create the donut. Don't ya just love his "Club TCP" umbrella!

From the YOU SICK THING set, one of the little penguins is tending to the other. How cute! I paper pieced the comforter and the bed and love how those turned out. All of the patterned papers here are also in the Cosmo Cricket Lil Man collection. I love their deep colors and patterns! Aren't these scallops fun too. This idea came from THIS card by Dawn McVey. {I'm a stalker of her blog! She's the queen of bold, bright color.}

Okay, I am totally in love with all three of those cards! They are absolutely fabulous! The airbrushing and coloring on the first one is exquisite and I love the little details you have added, like the stacked buttons on the beautiful satin bow. The second one is SO original! I love, love that buoy!! :D
And I couldn't help but notice those rows of scallops on the last one... I might CASE you CASEing Dawn! ;)
TFS!
