Vicki's One Layer DT Challenge


created by Vicki Garret

This month, DT member Vicki is our hostess for the DT challenge on Paper Craft Planet. I hope you will play along with us!! You could win a grab bag of PCS stamps! Here is the link to the challenge post on PCP where you can post your cards and ask any questions.

Challenge Description

The challenge is to create a ONE Layer Card. One Layer Only!!!!! The only exception to the one layer rule is that you can use some Paper piecing on your stamped image. Other than that, just one piece of cardstock. You can Sponge, Dab and add all the ink and embellishment that suit your fancy as long as you keep it in one layer. To achieve the look on my sample, I sponged various colours of ink using masks to block out the areas that I wanted to leave white.

Date the challenge ends: Wednesday March 11th, 5 pm EST

Requirements: A Pink Cat Studio stamp must be used as the main stamp on the card or project. It is okay to use stamps from other companies as well. To be eligible for the prize you must upload your card before the deadline to your PaperCraftPlanet gallery and include the tag PCSDTC2. You may enter only 1 project for this challenge. If you have questions about this challenge, please post them in this discussion thread.

Prize: On March 11th, a winner will be chosen by a random draw from all of the challenge participants. The winner will receive a grab bag of Pink Cat Studio stamps. The winner will be announced in the PCP challenge discussion thread and on the Pink Cat Studio blog. Some cards from the challenge will be displayed on the PCS blog.
Have fun and I we can't wait to see what you create!

Enchanted Lily Release Day!


Today is the official release day of the Enchanted Lily stamps! I've had so much fun showing you the sneak peeks over the last two days. Today we have one more group of cards to show you using the leaping or flying Lily Fairy stamp. This is the first fairy image I drew and it inspired the whole set.

If you would like to order these new stamps please visit the Pink Cat Studio website to place your order.


I'll announce the blinkie contest winner at the bottom of this post.

I want to thank my wonderful design team for all of their hard work on their cards. They did a fabulous job and I'm so proud to display their creations here on my blog.

"Okay, cute little Lily has been blogged! She soars right on top!! Thank you and have a Sweet Day!! http://sweetpapertreats.blogspot.com"

Karrie has won the new Enchanted Lily stamps! Karrie please email your shipping address to me so I can send you your prize.

I've had several ladies ask me if they can keep the Lily on the swing blinkie on their blogs. Sure you can, that would be fantastic!! Tomorrow I am going to change the blinkie so that the release date doesn't flash at the bottom. If you decide to keep the blinkie it should update automatically to the new one on Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Sneak Peek Day #2 - Enchanted Lily

Today we are featuring 2 of the new Enchanted Lily stamps. The first one is of Fairy Lily in a water lily on a lily pad. Say that 10 times, LOL! This stamp was so fun to draw. I just love the little froggie and I gave Lily dragonfly style fairy wings. Lily is about to enchant the little frog by touching him with her magical flower wand. Do you think he will turn into a prince? Or maybe he will grow wings and turn into a frog fairy and follow Lily around on her adventures. Okay, that just gave me an idea for a children's book :)

The second stamp is Ladybug Fairy Lily sitting on a mushroom holding her little ladybug friend.
I just thought of a story to go along with this image too but I think we should get to the cards, LOL!! I could go on and on ....

The design team ladies have made some absolutely adorable cards with these stamps. I'm so excited to show them to you today!!
