It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
Our lovely Jaydee is the hostess this week and she has a fabulous Tic-Tac-Toe board for all of us. I love these boards because of all the possibilities. Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create.
Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card. I decided to play on the diagonal silver/gold-die-cut/punch/ fall. I created an alcohol ink background and then cut out the leaves using the Stampin' Up! Vintage Leaves dies. My card base is white. I cut a scalloped background from gold foil. I splattered the white stitched layer with gold ink. The leaves were added with dimensionals. A few sequins were added for sparkle. The gold sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Praying for you". The picture is not great with the shine--sorry!

So sorry that you needed a sympathy card, Claire but this one is gorgeous. The swirls on your inked leaves are so pretty. The gold elements lend an elegant touch just perfect for the sentiment. I know you are making great memories with your family this weekend--happy birthday sweet Oliver!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are gorgeous Claire. It's a beautiful sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteOliver has the cutest expressions!Hope you all had fun celebrating his Birthday!
I can imagine how gorgeous those leaves are IRL, Claire! And how fun, that you got to spend some time with that little cutie! I can't believe he's a year old already! Time flies!
ReplyDeleteYowza these leaves are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteClaire I've always wanted to try alcohol inks but they kind of intimidate me. You however, handle them beautifully! I love the mottled colors on your beautiful leaves. And that Oliver, what a cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteI love the swirling colour and shine on those metallic leaves Claire - a beautiful sympathy card. As for Oliver - 1 already? How time flies and my how he's grown, such a handsome little chap!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are gorgeous! You've inspired me to play with the alcohol inks I have but have been sitting on a shelf for far too long! Hugs, Annie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and I love the photo of your "little monster"!
ReplyDeleteClaire, what a gorgeous sympathy card. You really rocked the alcohol inks. I cannot believe little Oliver is 1 year old.... time flies so fast. He's adorable!
