It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
The amazing Ann is our hostess this week and she has a fun Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us. The theme is "food". There are endless possibilities with this week's challenge. So have fun and remember to keep it CAS.
Remember, when we say Clean and Simple, we mean cards that:
Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space, also known as "white" space
Are simple and uncluttered
I embossed a black panel with a bamboo embossing folder for my background. The little penguin with his sushi was stamped using an old stamp set by SugarPea Designs. They are no longer in business but, I still have all my stamps and love them. This one always makes me smile. The name of the stamp set is "Rice, Rice, Baby". I colored the image with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the same set. I didn't add any embellishments to keep it CAS.

What a fun little penguin!! Great layout and coloring--perfect for our FOOD challenge, LOL!
ReplyDeleteClaire, this is just fun! A super ninja sushi penguin is just so unexpected and I love the little punny sentiment. Designed to get a laugh and it did! I love the way that even the embossing folder fits in with the theme. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh, Claire! You know me and happy cards! This one had me grinning from ear-to-ear. How can you not smile at a ninja penguin with a tray of sushi? However, it was the sentiment that gave me the giggles. Thank you for making my challenge shine. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteOh I do love a punny sentiment Claire and this sushi-eating penguin is CAS perfection! So fun - love the bamboo embossing too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, Claire! I would have kept those stamps too : ) Your sushi-eating penguin is so adorable and I love the bold colors. I actually got to live in Japan for a couple of years and that's where I learned how to eat with chopsticks...but I don't eat sushi :) Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI love eating sushi, so seeing this adorable penguin with his plate full of yummy bites makes me want to head out to our nearest restaurant lol! He is so cute and the design is fabulous with the bamboo embossing and puny sentiment! Love this!
ReplyDeleteClaire, sushi ain't my thing - but this card certainly is! I am a sucker for a punny sentiment and this one is perfect. You colored your ninja penguin perfectly. Thanks for making me smile
