TCP It's All in the Words

Are you ready for a new challenge from The Cat's Pajamas?   We are looking for sentiments as the focus of your card for this challenge.   

The sentiment on my card is the Hello There die cut.  I couldn't resist adding a few penguins peeking out, but the sentiment takes up the most space.

YNS May 2016 DT Dare - Stripes

This month the Your Next Stamp design team was dared to show some stripes!  We accepted the dare which means you get the chance to win a stamp set of your choice.  All you need to do is head on over to the YNS Blog and leave a comment on the DT Dare post, found here!

I took the easy way out on this dare, yep, I am admitting it!   I went with striped paper as the base for a scene with the birds from the new stamp set Gardening Birds.
