My base card is white.  I used the Lawn Fawn Hillside Stitched Dies to create the sand using Crumb Cake SU card stock and the ocean using Pool Party SU card stock.  The Gorgeous Grunge stamp set from Stampin' Up was used to create the sand and water lines using matching inks.  The little girl image is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set from SugarPea Designs. The sandcastle and the shells are created from this set, too.  Copic Markers were used to color the images.  The background is created with Stormy Sky Distress Ink and a blending tool.  The sun is cut using Daffodil Delight card stock and the Mama Elephant-Stitched Sky Die set.  Wink of Stella is added for lots of shine in the sand, the girl and the seashells.  




You can see what the rest of the DT created for inspiration by clicking on their names below. I hope you will check out their blogs and then come and play along with us.
HUGS!

HAPPY Mother's Day to all the Moms, Grandmothers, Aunts and Care takers of children and pets!  I hope you enjoy this special day and find a moment to do something that makes your heart happy! 

Now, it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

The amazingly talented Jaydee is our hostess this week.  She has a beautiful Spring color palette for all of us.  We can't wait to see what you create! 







My card is created on a white card base  The top layers is a retired SU paper (So Saffron) cut with the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Dies from SugarPea Designs.  The banner is cut using the Stitched Party Banners Die from Lawn Fawn on white card stock.  The flower bouquet is from WPlus9 Beautiful Bouquet: Dahlias.  I stamped it with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  A water brush was used on the flowers and leaves using Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizazz inks.  So Saffron was washed around the bouquet for added color.  A big white bow and a few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for fun.  The sentiment is from Altenew-Beautiful Lady Stamp Set stamped in Black Versa Fine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Wink of Stella is added on the bouquet for shine and sparkle.
