Enjoy the Ride

It's TCP Tuesday - hooray!! :)  By next time this week (starting 3/22) we'll be sharing sneak peeks of the March release (which incidentally is 3/29) with you, and you are going to flip at what's coming!!  Such a tease, I know - hee hee! :)  Today Leigh is the Hostess with the Mostess and is bringing us another of her amazing, never-boring sketches! 


This sketch just screams for those swanky Pennant Cut-Ups - so fun!  I just happened to some brand new polymer in the house which also was begging to be inked.  I can't believe I didn't have this set before, but I have recently seen so many caaaauuutteee cards made with Joyride that I just had to order it for myself!

I also just got the new Springtime line from Echo Park . . .{love}!  Totally cute ride, right??  The yellow stripes are so cheery.   The stamp set includes a line of "tracks" which I used to stamp around the edge of my pennants - sort of a faux wonky sewing look!



I stamped my bunny on the Neenah White paper which I have to say is a dream to work with!  Then I did a bit of paper piecing and some work with Copic markers.  The headlight was the perfect place to use a big rhinestone and I even used some for the signal lights.  I added a cute flower button embellie that we made at my recent class at Stamping Around NH - which was sponsored by The Cat's Pajamas, thank you so much Alma!!  We all had such a fun time cranking out these adorable Felt flowers (using Flower Buttons Cut-Ups) and buttons (using Buttons Cut-Ups) and of course we used yummy Divine Twine to tie them up with!


Be sure to visit Alma's blog for all the details on this week's challenge and a list of what Cat Packers to visit each day.  It's also the place where you need to leave your link when you play along! :)  There's Cat Cash and the Swanky Stamper title up for grabs!

Oh, I almost forgot to say, I also made this card with my friend Joanne B's blogaversary challenge in mind.  From her list I used kraft paper, mixed stitching and Divine Twine.  She's offering up a sweet prize too, so go ahead and give it a whirl!
