It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
We have a huge announcement today! We are excited to welcome two new Guest Designers to our team:
and
Deanne will remain as a GD for another term.
A huge thank you to Crystal and Valentyna for being with us the last six months. We all enjoyed their fabulous creations!
Now, on to our sketch for this week. The fabulous Nance is our hostess this week! Her sketch is so versatile and can be used for any type of card. We can't wait to see what you create!
My card is created on a white card base. I used the MFT Balloon Strings background stamp. I inked it with Versa Fine ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I used different shades of blue distress inks to create the watercolored background. I wanted it to look like water. I also used an old retired SU polka dot background stamp to create the side border. I heat embossed it with silver embossing powder, too. The little penguin and the tree are from MFT Penguins In Paradise stamp set. I stamped them on Neenah Solar White and colored them with Copic Markers. A white circle was cut with a stitched die and sponged for the penguins background. Wink of Stella and clear sparkling sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for shine and fun.
Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.
