Stop & Smell the Roses--PP329

January 29, 2017

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

Our lovely Joanne, is the hostess this week.  She has a fabulous sketch for all of you!  We can't wait to see what you create.  



I must admit, this sketch had me stumped!  I was really at a loss.  Then, my Hero Arts monthly kit arrived and I knew just what I wanted to create.  Unfortunately, this kit has already sold out.  




My card base is white.  I used two different Valentine DSP papers that I had in my stash for the background.  Both pieces were cut using the SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Dies.  The bouquet is created using the items in the kit.  It even included the matching inks.  I cut white squares for the background and popped the pink hearts up with dimensionals.  The sentiment is stamped in black Memento ink.  I added a pearl to the bow and Wink of Stella on the flower blooms for shine.  A few more pearls were added for 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.
