Thinking of You PP414

October 14, 2018

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

The amazing Jaydee is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous color challenge for all of us! Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create!

My card is created on a Very Vanilla card base. I added a top layer of gold foil to cover the front of the card. I used the new Simon Says Stamps Sketched Flowers stamp set. I used Versa Mark Ink on the stamp and stamped it on Very Vanilla card stock. I heat embossed the flowers and sentiment in gold embossing powder. I used Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadows and Crushed Curry inks with an Aqua Painter to color the leaves and flowers. I watered the Mossy Meadows down a lot and colored the background. I added some sequins to complete the card. I love the way this turned out. Such a gorgeous color combo for Fall!

I Feel It In My Bones Sketch Saturday #535

October 13, 2018

Welcome to another week at Sketch Saturday!

We have one of our favorites joining us as sponsor this week.

Just Me Digital Stamps!!

The super prize offered this week is

two digital stamps of the winner's choice.

Here is sketch #535:

My card is created on a purple card base. I added a lemon-lime layer and then a rectangle of Halloween DSP. The tags are cut out of the purple and lemon-lime papers using the SugarPea Designs Gift Tag Die. I added a strip of black bat Halloween DSP to the tag. I used the Halloween card set from Simon Says Stamp Fun Halloween for the sentiment and the skeleton. Both are stamped with black ink. I colored the skeleton with Copic Markers. I used goggly eyes and black twine to complete my card.

Thank you for stopping by my blog! Don't forget to visit all the DT blogs for lots of inspiration! We sure hope you will play along with us!

HUGS!
