{The Cat's Pajamas} Color Challenge

It's time for another TCP Tuesday at The Cat's Pajamas and our newest kitty cat Deborah is our hostess for this rotation with a color 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 used the watercolor on acetate smooshing technique using three different colors of Distress inks, Salty Ocean, Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw along with MFT Sour Apple onto Ranger Watercolor paper. After it was dry, I cut a portion of it and stamped the branch from the Nesting set onto it using Dark Chocolate ink. I also stamped the nest from the same set onto Neenah white cardstock and then fussy cut out, adding a bit of the yellow and green inks onto to it. The eggs were colored with Copic markers, fussy cut out and adhered to the nest. I cut the frame from white cardstock using Stitched Fly die twice, glued them together and then layered it onto the watercolor piece. After adhering the nest with foam tape,  the bird from Take Flight set was stamped with Blue Danube and then again with Berrylicous inks and cut out with the matching die from the Bird Friends set. I softened up the yellow patterned paper background with torn vellum and then attached the image piece to it.

Products: The Cat's Pajamas stamps and dies, Papertrey Ink dp and cs, Ranger Watercolor cs and inks, MFT and Simon Says inks, Copic markers
