I chose the Henry Mouse with Hot Chocolate stamp. I pulled out some Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey - I {heart} this paper!! It goes perfect with Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke cardstock from SU. The snowflake punches are Martha Stewart. I took the large bling and colored it with some BG13 Copic Marker to match my project - easy peasy and dries instantly! I used my Copic ABS system to airbrush the sentiment with BG 13 also.
Here is a close-up of Henry. I used a little Liquid Applique to his marshmellows and some Stickles to his steam and the berries on the mug. Henry was colored with the following Copics:
W00, 1, 3, 5, 7; BG0000, BG10, BG11, BG13, R30; E30, 33, 35, 37; YG95, 93, 91, & 21.

NEW Pink Cat Studio release: SPORTY BILLY

I just added the new SPORTY BILLY set to the store! This set is perfect for you summer sports cards and scrapbook pages. Of course, this set only has boys, but check out Lauren Meader's card below. She has taken Lily's head from another set and put it on the soccer player. That's brilliant!!!

Jodi Lee: sneak peek of the new Pink Cat Studio stamps!

It's sneak peek time with Pink Cat Studio!! This time Lily is headed for the beach! These images are absolutely adorable and I'm sure you'll agree when you see them.

My first card is of Lily sitting on a turtle. I had so much fun making this card and being able to use bold colors for the Summer. My card is based off of a sketch from Mojo Monday a couple of weeks back. As I was making this card and piecing it together, I decided to create a 3D layer for the turtle's shell. So, I stamped him twice and cut the top of his shell, and popped it higher. I also popped up his head and feet for another added effect.

After I added the embellishments, it still seemed unfinished so I added some crystal effects to the shell of the turtle and made it look shiny as if he were glistening in the sun or shall I say sun bathing in the sun.

My next image is of Lily with an Inner Tube. She is ready to jump in the water for some fun in the sun!! Don't these stamps make you want to plan your next summer vacation? To create the background of Lily, I used my COPIC AIRBRUSH SYSTEM that you can get over at 7 KIDS COLLEGE FUND. I used yellow for the background of the sky and brown for the bottom where the sand would be. I have also purchased my COPIC SKETCH MARKERS from 7KIDS too.

I think lately I have been in the mood to pop images off the card, I really do love the 3 dimensional look but just had to make a little extra time to cut it out and mount it. It really does not take that long, but one of the things that could be time consuming is cutting very small objects. This photo shows that I have cut and mounted the inner tube around Lily's waist and I have added crystal effects to this as well for that plastic appeal.

Stay tuned for another sneak peek as well as the release day for these stamps on Thursday.

Jodi Lee gives us a sneak peek of the new Pink Cat Studio stamps!

Today I finally get to show you what I have been working on...these are images of the new Sweet Pea set from Pink Cat Studio!! My first creation shows sweet pea in her strawberry outfit and ready to enjoy her lollipop. I think dressing your little girl in a strawberry outfit is soooo adorable!

I had initially made another card using this sweetie but was not happy with it and had to throw it out. I was much happier with this strawberry baby card. I'm not sure about the rest of you out there, but if the card or project does not feel right I just have to re-do it. =) I wanted to add a black flower to the card to match but didn't have one, so I sponged a white flower in black and made my own... I didn't want to buy a whole box for just one black flower. LOL!

For my next card I have created a card for a baby boy and dressed him up with bunny ears! I loved making this card because boys are such rascals! The little boys I know are rascals! LOL!



I love working with layers on my card using embellishments that I don't use often. One of the embellishments that I used (but should try to use more often) here is fun flock. I added white fun flock to the bunny ears. I know you can't really see it here, but trust me, it's there. =) I can't seem to find my light blue fun flock so had to settle for the white. The special delivery box was the other fun thing to color. To get the effect of a cardboard look, I sponged on the light and medium shades of brown and dabbed on the darkest brown for variation in color. I think it gives it more dimension too.



The guest designer this month is Sparke Smith, you can check her out HERE. Melissa also has a new challenge going on where you tell her who you think the next cutie patootie should be. You will have until tomorrow (Wednesday) to tell her. For more information click HERE.

Check out what the rest of the Pink Cat Studio DT has created and I hope to see all of you back here on Wednesday for other sneak peeks and Thursday for the release day!! The new stamps will be available at 7 KIDS COLLEGE FUND on Thursday, but stop by now to see all the PCS stamps currently available.
