I wanted to send a card to a friend that is battling breast cancer.  I started on a white card base and then stenciled a panel for the top layer.  I used three colors of Distress inks.  I trimmed the panel with the Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Die.  I love this flower stamp and have used it before, but I do not know what company it is from.  If anyone can advise me on this I would greatly appreciate it.  Somehow it did not have a name imprinted on it and I lost the original package.   The sentiment reads--You Are --and on the inside  A fighter!  I love it!  Just a little something to encourage her to keep fighting!

Congrats on Your New Home Paper Players Challenge PP503



August 9, 2020

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

The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a bright, vibrant color challenge for all of us.  



Now, I must admit I love bold colors, but this combo threw me for a loop.  I needed a card for a couple that just purchased a new home, so I thought I would give it a try.  She is an artist so,  hmmmm---whimsical might be a fun way to go.  I layered Night of Navy and Pool Party on top of a white card base.  I added a piece of watercolored paper that I stenciled using a Tim Holtz sunhine and Distress inks.  I combined a yellow and peach to make the Mango Melody.  I used the stamp set Doddle Buds by WPlus9 for the flowers, leaves and stitch marks.  I colored the flowers with Copic Markers and cut them out with the matching dies.  The sign was stamped using the Welcome Home stamp set by Neat and Tangled Stamps.  I cut it out with the matching die.  A little Wink of Stella was added to the flowers and leaves for shine.  I ended up loving the color combo and hope you do, too!  Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create!

The Bride Paper Players PP502

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

The lovely Laurie is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous theme challenge for all of us!  Wedding/Anniversary is the theme for the week.  We can't wait to see what you create!  







My card is created on a white card base.  I added a layer of silver glimmer paper.  The next panel is white and embossed with a 3D embossing folder.  The bride is stamped in black ink using the stamp  Haute Wedding Dress from The Ton stamp set.  I added the trim with silver embossing powder.  I colored her skin and hair with Copic Markers.  A few sparkling clear sequins were added to complete the card.
