TCP Sneaky Peek Week...Day 7: From Us to You!

Hello there inky friends!  I'm back with my fellow Cat Packers as we sneak a peek of another cute new set called From Us to You.  Check out the lead post at the TCP Blog to see the complete line-up of inspiration.  If you're playing the In It To Win It challenge, make sure to comment on all blogs today for a chance to win the TCP Prize!  

This set is such a fun little tree full of critters ready to celebrate.  The sentiments and added tiny embellies are fun too...but wait...Mr. Yeti (Yeti Christmas) wants to join the fun too!  He's even bringing his own tree to the party!  Hee Hee.  These two stamp sets work great together, don't they?!

From Us to You

Yeti Christmas

To create my card, I started out by stamping the tree on white cardstock.  I then added some Copic color and then finished the image off with a .03 Staedtler microfine pen.  I think it adds a bit of texture to the tree and some additional dimension.  After that, It was time to fussy cut.  It took forever, but it was so relaxing. 

After that I hunted for the perfect paper to coordinate with this image.  I found it in an old 6x6 pad called Darling Deer by My Minds Eye.  It's retired but it's nice to work through my stash!  I assembled the background panel and arranged my tree on it to see what else I needed to add to finish off this card.  I decided it needed some grass.  Yeah, it's winter, but grass grows in some places in the winter- so it works.  HA HA.  After using Copics to make the grass, I fussy cut it again and added some jute ribbon and a bow to finish that off.  I mounted it onto the cream card base then got to work on stamping and coloring the Yeti images.  

I wanted Mr. Yeti to be coming in to join the fun so I offset the image and trimmed it just so.  I popped him up on pop dots so that he could stand out and then glued the hand/tree down to the paper.  Since this was a pretty busy scene, I opted to include the sentiment on the inside of my card.  

Thanks so much for hopping over to check out my card.  I hope my project inspires you to create something fun!  Make sure to stop by tomorrow as we hop, hop, hop and launch the new release!
