Have Broom Will Party The Paper Players Challenge PP655

August 27, 2023

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

The Lovely LeAnne  is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous sketch challenge  for all of us!  It is always so fun to see all the fabulous entries with sketches.  So get creative and have fun with this one!


                    



 I love Halloween cards, so I thought I would work on my stash for this season.  I used a paper pad that had non tradtional colors for Halloween.  I loved the black and pink for a new take on this holiday.  The witch and sentiment are from the Simon Says Stamp set Witch Please.  I love this set and I am certain you will see more cards with this set.  I added a piece of black/white ribbon around the panel.  A few enamel dots and Wink of Stella were added for shine.

Witch Please The Paper Players Challenge PP653

 August 13, 2023

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

The Amazing Anne Marie is our hostess this week and she has a beautiful color challenge  for all of us!  It is always so fun to see all the fabulous entries with color combos.  I had to put a lot of thought into this one.  I didn't want to do flowers, so I decided Halloween is coming, I would go that direction. 


I used black as my neutral and background on my card.  I used a watercolor paper panel and smooched Blackberry Bliss and water to create this background.  I kept spraying it with water and used a paper towel to make water spots.  I then flicked black ink splatters on it.  The moon is created using Daffodil Delight card stock.  I used a sponge and blended Sweet Sorbet and Blackberry Bliss to create a spooky moon.  The witch is stamped in black using the SSS  Witch Please and the sentiment is Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight using the die Witch Please Die.  I added Wink of Stella on the Witch for shine and some black enamel dots.

You're a SUN-SATIONAL Friend The Paper Players PP652 Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC315

 August 6, 2023

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps 

I am the hostess this week at The Paper Players. School is back in Georgia, but there is still time to have "HOT FUN in the SUMMERTIME!"  So let's keep celebrating summer a few more days! 

This fantastic Color Challenge at Sunday Stamps  is perfect for all types of cards!  So many possibilities with this one!  Have Fun!  







I loved the color combo at Sunday Stamps and decided it would work perfectly for my beach themed card.  The turquoise frame and white panel were cut using dies.  I stamped the image using a retired stamp by SugarPea Designs.  It was called Seaside Wishes.  I colored the image with Copic Markers.  I found a scrap of orange waves in my stash and decided it would be the perfect accent.  The sun was cut twice and I mounted the second one with diminsionals. Wink of Stella and enamel dots were added to complete my card.
