TCP Tuesday 191 and a Sneaky Peek, Too!

It's the start of Sneaky Peek week for the January release from The Cat's Pajamas. All you fans of bunnies, penguins, and Sprinkle will not be disappointed with what's on the way . . .


My card for today's Sneaky Peek is based on the super sweet inspiration photo Jen shared for this week's TCP Tuesday challenge. I used the hearts in the photo and the red/kraft/black/white color scheme as the starting point for my card.

This card features Miss Sprinkle herself, seated at a kissing booth, from the new Gimme Some Sugar stamp set. I colored her--and the booth--with Copic markers. The booth's dressed up with a little scalloped banner from a brand new CutUps die, the Queen of Hearts border. This die's too cool! It cuts two different border pieces--the fancy scallop edged piece you see here and a decorative edged strip dotted with hearts.

I used patterned paper with tiny hearts on it for the panel behind Sparkle. After layering each of the panels on black mats, I set them on a kraft panel, embossed with a burlap-like texture and machine stitched around the edges. The set's "gimme some sugar" sentiment is added on a circle panel using foam tape.
