Have we ever got a fun and timely TCP Tuesday Challenge for you this week! Amy is our Hipster Hostess With the Mostess this week and here's the Inspiration Piece (selected by Toni):
Doesn't that just make you want to break out your Crayolas?
All of those colors reminded me of some yummy new ribbon I bought, and since I've been dying to get the whale from the new By The Sea set inky, I figured I'd make a school of whales...
The card is long-note sized and the whales were colored in with Copics and popped up on Dimensionals. I trimmed the turquoise layer below the whales with mini-scallop edged scissors to resemble tiny waves. Since my oldest fishy is beginning Junior High tomorrow, I think I'll use
this to write a note telling him how proud I am of him and to wish him
a wonderful school year.
Wanna play with us and have a chance to be this month's Swanky Stamper?
Here are the deets. (Lifted from Ana's page.)
1. Each a week one member of The Cat Pack will host a challenge.
2. The challenges will vary {stamp, color, theme, sketch, etc.}
3. You will have until {this} Saturday night at midnight EST to complete the challenge.
4. Link your project on this week’s hostess’ challenge announcement. This week you will link your project HERE!
5. TCP stamps are not required, but of course, highly encouraged. {Unless it is a challenge calling for a specific stamp}
6.
There will be one winner each month. She/he will be deemed that month’s
Swanky Stamper and get $25 in Cat’s Cash {money to spend on the TCP
site!}.
7. When uploading to SCS or PCP, please use the keyword TCPTUES72 for this challenge.
8. Alma will post the entries from the week the following Monday on her blog.
9.
The newly crowned Swanky Stamper will be announced on the First of the
