Sending Love and Sympathy--PP253

July 12, 2015

 It's Sunday and time for another challenge at The Paper Players.  The lovely, Jaydee is our hostess this week and she has a beautiful color combination for us!  We can't wait to see what you create!  


I absolutely love the new SU color, Mint Macaron!  I debated with the Smokey Slate and Sahara Sand choices for my base card, but finally went with the Sahara Sand.  My base card is 5 1/2 X 4 1/4.  The next layer is Mint Macaron (5 1/4 X 4) with rounded corners on right side.  The next layer is Natural White.  (5 X 3 3/4) I embossed it on the edge with a retired SU folder and used Sahara Sand ink and a dauber to add color.  I also used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to add grunge.  I stamped the sentiment in Sahara Sand.  

The flowers are from Altenew-Peony Scrolls Flowers.  I stamped the flowers with Versa Mark on Whisper White and heat embossed them with white powder.  I used Copic Markers to color the flowers and cut them out with the matching dies.  They are adhered with foam tape for dimension.  Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for sparkle. 



I am so glad you stopped by my blog today.  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

    Claire this card is just stunning! I love every thing about it. Those peonies are gorgeous (and on my wish list), and I love the subtle embossing on your background. Great minds think alike regarding the sentiment!
