CTMH Autumn/Winter New Product Blog Hop & Tutorial

There’s nothing more exciting then opening a new Idea Book and seeing all the new products…wait, there is something more exciting…seeing all those new products used in fabulous artwork!  We’re celebrating the Autumn/Winter 2010 CTMH Idea Book with a bang – a New Product Blog Hop.  If you came from my friend Georgia’s blog, you’re on the right track!  If you’re just joining in…grab a cup of your favorite beverage, a notebook & pen (so you can jot down your wish list)…then, sit back and savor the eye candy!

I love cute monsters…I do…really, I do.  Maybe it’s because I have three boys?!?  Anyhow, there’s a absolutely adorable monster set that I just had to play with.  Isn’t he precious?  This also uses the new papers from the Hooligans Level 2 Paper Pack and the Pear Mini-Medley Accents Collection.

With the Autumn/Winter Idea 2010 Idea Book, CTMH is introducing 8 new colors in the Summer Pallete: Smoothie, Gypsy, Pear, Lagoon, Pacifica, Sunset, Sky and Cotton Candy.

Here are three of the new colors that I’ll be using for this project.

Using the edge of the ink pad, swipe stripes of color in small patches on a piece of Pear cardstock.

Repeat using Gypsy and Lagoon.

Now…use that for the base of the card.

All pieces are edges using Gypsy ink.

Stamp the monster using Black ink on a scrap of White Daisy cardstock.  Using a Blending Pen, pick up color from an ink pad…or squish the ink pad lid to the pad (it’s flexible so you can do this), and then pick up the ink from the lid.  Cut out the moster.  Attach to card using 3D Foam Tape.
