Get Inspired with TCP Tuesday 161!

Good morning! We are having some gorgeous weather this week so we've been outside a lot!!  What a great time of year!  It's time for a brand new TCP Tuesday challenge and our Hipster Hostess with the Mostess this week is Jen.  She's put together a palette of inspiration for us, check it out:

Such pretty, summery images right?  I chose to go with the colors for my card and I used Whale of a Time and the Wave Cut-Ups die.

 

I just love this whale, don't you?  He's just perfect!  He's fun to color too, especially when you have the awesome Neenah cardstock that Alma carries - seriously, the cardstock DOES make a difference!.  Can you see that after he was all colored I added a few dots with my colorless blender around his nose?  Just for fun.  Oh and his hat has a nice coating of Glossy Accents on it for some shine!

The hearts on the bottom were done with the Heart Trio Cut-Ups die - one in cork and one in Felt.

So it's your turn to play along!  Visit Alma's Blog for all the details, or pop in at The Cat's Pajamas Forum on Splitcoaststampers to see what all the cool cats are making! :)  As always, there is $10 Cat Cash up for grabs this week and since it's a brand new month, we'll be on the lookout for a new Swanky Stamper!  Have a great Wednesday!!
