You Are A Gift Paper Players Challenge PP510

 Sept. 27, 2020

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at  The Paper Players!

The amazing Joanne is our hostess and she has a beautiful sketch for all of us.  WOW!  This one is so versatile and the possibilities are endless.  I love all the layers!  

I choose a brick paper to add for the background on my card.  I found a piece of floral fall paper to use for the large rectangle.  I added purple gingham for the vertical banner and a small piece of wood grained paper for the square.  I love all these patterns together.  I used a strip of music paper and a wood strip for the sentiment.  The sunflower is stamped using the Stampin Up Painted Harvest stamp set.  I used Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Blackberry Bliss inks for the sunflower.  The sentiment is stamped in black.  I added some Wink of Stella on the Sunflower for shine.

My card is created on a white card base.  I added a black layer heat embossed with white powder after stamping the new MFT City Block Background with Versa Mark ink.  I love the way this turned out.  The snowdrifts are created using a die.  The red cardinal is created using the MFT Holly Jolly Cardinal Die.  I will admit it was time consuming to add all the small details, but it is so worth the end result.  The sentiment is stamped in black.
