{The Cat's Pajamas} TCP Tuesday Inspiration Challenge

It's time for another TCP Tuesday at The Cat's Pajamas and I am the hostess for this rotation with an inspiration challenge. The challenge runs for two weeks and The Cat’s Pajamas stamps are not required. See full details at the end of this post.

I was inspired by the colors and floral pieces so I started out by stamping one of the large flowers from the Patterned Petals set onto coral patterned paper using white ink, sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat embossed. I then cut out with the matching die from the Petal Posies CutUps set. I lightly curled up the petals and then attached it to the prepared background panel. The flourishes from the Simply Said set were stamped directly onto the background using Hero Arts Veridian ink. The sentiment (also from the Simply Said set) was stamped onto a strip of cardstock using Hero Arts Fresh Peach ink and then attached with dimensional dots. After stamping the bee from the Hear Me Roar set, I cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities and colored with Copic Markers, adding it to the panel with a dimensional dot. A few enamel dots were the only embellishments.
