TCP Tuesday 170-Enjoy the Ride

This week’s TCP Tuesday challenge is a sketch and our hostess Leigh has given us a great one to play with. I used that scooter-riding bunny from the Joyride set with some fun patterned papers to pull this one together.

The bunny and scooter are colored with Copic markers and cut out. I added a few accents to the image with silver Smooch paint and Glossy Accents, too. The bunny’s set on an aqua dotted panel with a gray “road” set along the bottom. I used two coordinating patterned papers from a My Mind’s Eye paper pad for the panels on either side of the bunny.

All of the panels are matted with green cardstock, then set on the turquoise card base. Instead of a scalloped strip along the bottom of the panel, I went with a pale purple Big Scallop Border CutUps strip. The set’s “enjoy the ride” sentiment is stamped on a pale purple notched banner die cut made from the accent piece included with the Easy Rosettes CutUps dies and slipped underneath the scooter. And, I replaced the photo corner element at the top of the center panel with a white felt cloud cut from the CutUps Cloud Border die strip. I told you I can’t put that thing down . . .

I hope you'll pull your stamps out and give this sketch a try. Playing along with the challenge enters you into the mix for the weekly Cat Cash prize awarded to one lucky participant who adds their creation to the guestbook on Alma's blog--and gives you the chance to be honored as the next Swanky Stamper. And, Alma will be sharing links to the Cat Pack's creations on her blog all week, so be sure to check in regularly for some eye candy and inspiration.
