TCP Tuesday 188-Raise a Little Cane

It’s my turn to host the TCP Tuesday challenge and this week, I’ve brought you a fun mix of colors that can be used for a festive holiday card—or for something else entirely. Check out this yummy combination of pale pink, red, and steel gray!

I used the new Raising Cane set for my card—I just love the candy cane-toting bunny in this one! The bunny’s colored with Copic markers to match the challenge colors. I cut the colored image out and added a little sparkly white flock to accent the bunny’s hat and tail.

The decorative edged red panel on the cardfront is made with the CutUps Gift Card Envie die. This die is so versatile--it's not just for gift card envelopes! On Friday, I used it to make a gift basket and here, I used Jenny’s trick to use part of the die cut as a panel. I ran the panel through my die cutting machine with a dot patterned embossing folder to add a little texture before attaching it to the pink card base. A strip of gray dotted cardstock runs across the panel, dressed up with some red grosgrain ribbon. The bunny’s attached to the card with foam tape. I stamped one of the set’s sentiments on a pink strip, then added it to the card, slipping the panel’s edge under the bunny.

I hope you’ll play along with this week’s challenge for your chance to win some Cat Cash. Just upload your project to the photo album on Alma’s blog to enter—and be sure to keep an eye out for the links to the rest of the Cat Pack’s projects that she’ll be posting throughout the week.
