It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
My friend and multi-talented Joanne from across the pond is our hostess this week! She has a fabulous colors challenge for all of us!
I had a lot of fun creating this card. I cut a scalloped border using a retired MFT Blueprints die using Early Expresso card stock. I used all three colors--Crushed Curry, Early Expresso and Peekaboo Peach to create this background on watercolor paper. After it dried, I added Early Expresso and Peekaboo Peach splatters with a paintbrush. I trimmed it using a rectangle die. I stamped the image using a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp set-"Hey There Punkin" by Cheryl Grant. I can't find it on their site. Maybe it is retired. I love this little pie maker because she reminds me of my Mom. Growing up in Indiana, we ate a lot of pie. It is a Hoosier tradition. My Mom made pies every Saturday. I sure do miss that! Nothing better than a warm piece of pie and some vanilla ice cream! I colored her with Copic Markers and added some white dots with a gel pen. Wink of Stella and sequins were added for shine. I hope she makes you smile, too!
Don't forget to stop by all the DT members fantastic blogs for inspiration! You won't be disappointed!

Claire, your little baking girl is a real cutie pie (pun intended)! I love her adorable freckles. Great choice for the colors!
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the 3 colors for your water color background...and that image is SO cute!Love how you framed it all too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I adore the background - I've a soft spot for the spongy/flicky background. :-) . Such sweet colouring too. I can't wait to have a try with alcohol markers. The sequins are a pretty addition, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, Claire! I love your watercolored background--so many great colors. Great coloring on the sweetie PIE too. Just an all-round adorable card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love this stamp Claire - with blond hair this little cutie could be Rebecca, she is a girl after your own heart - lives for pie of any kind!!! That watercoloured background is awesome too - your card exudes warmth and I can almost smell the baking. A fabulous card for my challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute! Makes me want a piece of pie for sure! Awesome image and sweet background!
ReplyDeleteI love it when cards invoke such wonderful memories (I, too, love pie :). Your background is perfect and really showcases that cute image and I can smell that warm pie too! Hope you're having a good week - Hugs, Annie.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this Claire! Love her sweet little face and her sweet little rosy cheeks :D
ReplyDeleteClaire, it's a cold windy day here today and I swear your card made me feel warmer just by looking at it. I really feel as though your cute little lady is about to deliver me a nice piece of steaming warm pie that I can drink with a cup of hot coffee. Fabulous card
