Welcome to My Happy Place

 
Sneaky peek week continues today at The Cat’s Pajamas with a look at the new Under the Stars set. Our favorite penguins make their return in this adorable outdoor themed set.

I used the set for a clean and simple design loosely based on the current sketch from Seize the Sketch. I started with a blue dotted panel to act as a sky and attached a green strip, die cut with TCP’s CutUps Grass Border die at the bottom of the panel. The penguin-filled tent image was stamped on white cardstock and cut out. It’s adhered to the panel over a matching stamped image, using foam tape for dimension.

I scattered a few gold sequin “stars” around the tent for a fun sparkle, then added a little pennant, made with the new CutUps Bitty Banners die, in the upper left corner. After stamping the “welcome to my happy place” sentiment at the bottom of the panel and wrapping it with some green baker’s twine, I adhered it to a light blue card base.
