TCP Tuesday 176-Hello Pumpkin and a Prize
This week’s TCP Tuesday challenge is an inspiration challenge brought to us by Jen. Check out this lovely fall photo montage! I was inspired by the color palette, plus the pumpkin, and included those elements in my card, which is also based on Jen’s September Sketch for You to Try. You'll want to keep reading to the end of this post--there just might be something in it for you if you do . . .
I used the versatile PJ the Bear from the A Beary Good Year set as my focal image, stamping him holding a jack-o-lantern bucket in his hand (remember those from trick-or-treating as a child??). After coloring him up with Copic markers, I cut him out and added him to the card with foam tape. He’s set on panels of paper from Crate Paper’s new Farmhouse collection. The “hello pumpkin” sentiment is from the same named Hello Pumpkin set. I stamped it in orange on an orange notch-edged strip and accented it with a pair of layered flower buttons cut with the CutUps button flower die.
Now, on to the prize at the end of the post! Like that button flower? Want to have a CutUps button flower die of your own? Well, in honor of it being one year since the CutUps line was introduced, each member of the Cat Pack is giving away a CutUps die. Just leave a comment on this post and I’ll pick a winner on Monday to receive a button flower die. Be sure to stop by Alma’s blog for links to the Cat Pack and their creations—and to enter your own project into the drawing for this week’s Cat Cash prize.
