CASology Week 25: New and Play Date Cafe PDCC 163








Two fun and fabulous challenges.  Something "NEW" at CASology this week and something Champagne, Sky Blue and Tangerine at Frosty Beauty at The Play Date Cafe.

"NEW" really had me thinking, but the one thing that kept coming back to mind was the song What's New Pussycat.  It was sung by the now pretty old Tom Jones.  Okay, I know that all you youngsters are likely saying "WHO ???".  He was a real hottie way back when!

I knew exactly what type of cat image I wanted and headed straight to Pink Cat Studio, an on line digi stamp store in Vancouver, BC.  I love the fun and whimsical characters that Melissa's has created. Very reasonable prices and easy to follow instructions.

I printed the cat and sentiment on white card stock. I reprinted the cat on the 3 other colors, then paper pieced the entire image! I am a bit disappointed with how the sparkly glasses present in the photo.  IRL the color is almost exactly the same as the blue shirt.

Once the card was finished I wondered why I didn't just color i the image with Copics ??? Oh well, this was fun :)

Happy crafting!

Paper:  SU Tangerine Tango; CTMH white; Martha Stewart Sky Blue and unknown Champagne color; Martha Stewart glitter; Pink Cat Studio digi stamp, computer generated sentiment
