The Cat's Pajamas (TCPTUES281) Inspiration Challenge

Welcome to the first The Cat's Pajamas TCP Tuesday challenge of 2015! As you know, we took a break in December to celebrate the season with our families but we are back and ready to go.

The details of the challenges remain the same for this year. It is still a two week one and we rotate the challenge types between: Color, Inspiration, Sketch and Anything Goes. The winner (chosen at random) will receive a $10 gift certificate to The Cat’s Pajamas shop and if the winner uses a TCP product, the GC increases to $15.


Kelli is our hostess to start us out with an inspiration challenge. I was inspired by the clouds in both photos so I used the The Cat's Pajamas Cloud Border CutUps to cut a cloud portion from Slate cardstock and attached to a patterned paper rectangle from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge pad cut with a Spellbinders Nestie. I attached it to a plain white cardstock background with a border strip of patterned paper from the same pad and then stamped the sentiment from the Life's a Beach stamp set directly onto it. I attached the background piece to the Sweet Blush card base with dimensional dots and added a trio of stacked sequins.

 
Products: The Cat's Pajamas stamp and CutUps, Pink Paislee dp, PTI cs, Teresa Collins and Verve sequins, Simon Says cs and ink
