New Release Day and Blog Hop - The Cat's Pajamas Stamps

It has arrived! The May new release and blog hop for The Cat's Pajamas Stamps! I hope you all gathered some wonderful inspiration this week from all the sneaky peeks the Cat Pack shared. If you arrived here from the inspiring Cristena's blog, you are in the right place.  If not, be sure to start HERE.

Today, I have two cards to share with you.  The first one is using the new set of Henna Tattoos.  This is such a gorgeous set and can be used for so many different projects to create some amazing backgrounds or even as the main focal image.

I started with stamping the image onto the card stock and heat embossing it in clear. I did brush away a part of the design so that it just blends out.  Once embossed, I used my distress inks to sponge in the back ground and then spritzing with a little bit of water. I used the new Flutter By die to cut out a part on the left and heat embossing in black the sentiment.  The card was finished with some of the new TCP Blue Moon hole-less sequins.

My second card is using the new set of Hay Neighbor.  This is an adorable set and I love that it has this sentiment of Hay Neighbor! There are times you just kind of need such a sentiment for your neighbors.  No? Just me? :) Well ok... I still love it. 

I decided to create a little scene with the growing carrots and the giraffe which I thought paired perfectly with the sentiment. To create the ground, I used my distress inks to sponge the color and spritzed it with some water.  I stamped the images and colored them in with Copics before finished it off with a sponging of the sky as well. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the "ground."

Be sure to hop of over to the ever talented Beata for more gorgeous creations! Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a fabulous week!
