It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!!
It's the sensational Sandy's week to be our hostess and she has a fantastic challenge for all of us. It's a Clean and Simple "Magical" theme. Create a project using unicorns, fairies, gnomes, etc. Have fun and we can't wait to see your creations!
Unfortunately, I am in Indiana to attend my dear Aunt's funeral and when I went to write my blog, I realized it is a Clean and Simple challenge!! My card is NOT CAS, so I hope Sandy will forgive me. I am going to go ahead and share it with all of you!
I created the top layer using distress inks and the smooshing technique on watercolored paper. I mounted it on black card stock. My card is created on green card stock and is a 5 x 5 square. The fairies are from Craftin Desert Divas Seasonal Fairies. I colored them with Copic Markers and added a lot of Wink of Stella for shine. The shaker was created using the MFT circle pouches and lots of sequins. The Happy Birthday circle frame is from MFT. I added more sequins for fun. I also created an envelope for my card.

ReplyDeleteClaire, sorry to hear that you have lost a dear aunt. Like Nance, I think that your card is fabulous. The smooshy background and shaker are lovely. I have to confess to having failed to notice the CAS part in these challenges to sometimes and I'm secretly a bit pleased to know it's not just me! Special hugs to you this week.
