The Paper Players #800

Hello, friends!  I’m joining the party over at The Paper Players Challenge! as they celebrate their 800th challenge?!  How cool is that?! This week’s sketch is, of course, their very first sketch.  Thank you ladies, for all you do!  



I dusted off a very old die from my stash called Grand Madison Window. I have so many dies that I really need to give them some love to, so hopefully, I can do just that!     

Supplies:
Paper:  All from my stash
Stamp: Simply Said (Waffle Flower)
Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Freshly Made Sketches #749

Hello, friends!  I had some time last night to create a card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches .  I dusted off an old set of flower dies from My Favorite Things called Stitched Blooms and went with the dies that look like daisies.  I know daisies aren’t usually blue but the color matched perfectly with the blue gingham washi tape.     




Supplies:
Paper:  All from my stash
Stamp: Seasonal Sentiments (Honey Bee)
Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)
Accessories: Stitched Blooms (MFT), Blue Gingham Washi Tape (Hobby Lobby)

The Paper Players #798

Hello, friends!  I’m back to share a fun card for this week’s The Paper Players Challenge.  Stef gave us a new color challenge, and I immediately knew what I wanted to create - a doggie card!  I’ve had this idea in my head of creating a card with a doggie holding a balloon, and these colors were perfect for it.  I used some teal twine to mimic the doggie holding the balloon.  I love how this little pup turned out! 





Supplies:
Paper: All from my stash
Stamp: Sending Smiles (Hero Arts)
Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)
Accessories: Teal Twine (Home Goods), Images cut with the Cricut Maker

Color Hues #138

Hello friends, I’m back with another color combo card from the Color Hues Challenge.  This time, I created a fashion-inspired card featuring a stylish high heel adorned with a necklace, paired with a lipstick for an elegant touch.  I also incorporated metallic silver accents on two of the images to add a little sparkle and shine.
