Look For The Miracles--PP304 and ctd401

July 17, 2016

 It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!   The lovely Jaydee is our hostess this week!  She has a technique challenge for all of us.  Use Watercolor on your CAS project!  We can't wait to see what you create!
I am also entering my card in the  Color Throwdown Challenge.  I loved the colors in their palette this week.  I am also entering the Challenge Up Your Life challenge. 








My card is created on a white card base.  I used a piece of watercolor paper and trimmed it with a stitched rectangle border by Simon Says Stamps.  I stamped the sentiment in Versa Fine ink and heat embossed it in white embossing powder.  The stamps set is from Simon Says Stamp Look For The Miracles.  I also did the flowers from the same set.  The chevron border is from Papertrey Inks Noted Stamp Set.  I added the watercolor paints from Zig-Kuretake-Gansai paints to create this wash.  I love the way it turned out.  Yellow enamel dots were added to the flower centers.  


So happy you stopped by my blog today!  Please leave a message!  I love to hear from you!  
Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.

I am also entering my card in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge!  Their sketch was just perfect for my card this week!  


My card is created on a square white card base.  I cut textured green card stock using the Lawn Fawn Meadow borders.  The top section of the card is covered with card stock that is covered with clouds.  The white rectangle is cut with a Simon Says Stamps  rectangle stitched die.  I inked the borders with distress ink.  The little toucans from Clearly Besotted Some Birdie Loves You were stamped on Neenah Solar White paper and colored with Copic Markers.  The matching dies were used to cut the toucans out. 


I used a "love" die from Stampin' Up and cut it out in orange four times and once in red to make it pop.  Wink of Stella was added on the sentiment and toucans for shine.  I also stamped two heart from the stamp set and colored them with Copics.


You can see what the rest of the DT created for inspiration by clicking on their names below. I hope you will check out their blogs and then come and play along with us.
HUGS!

My card is created using the Happy Mail stamp set.  The Air Mail Set was used to create the strip on the side of my white base.  Red and Blue strips were cut and the pieces were fit it the slots to create the air mail strip.  Zig Zag Stitched Circles were cut to make the circle frames.  I found this little airplane in my stash and added it for fun.  Wink of Stella was added to the heart and envelopes to create shine.
