The Paper Players Challenge 138

Hello Everyone,

Here is this weeks challenge from the Paper Players

It's this really interesting sketch that I thought I would try as I absolutely adored some of the design team samples this week.

Here is my take on the sketch which I extended slightly to make a Square card.


I've used the Blackboard technique with the background stamp Pleasant Poppies and the Friendship Preserves set for the greeting which  I've teamed with Primrose Pink, Pool Party and Basic Black cardstock. and More Amore Designer Series Specialty paper.


Thanks so much for stopping by to view my card.  Please leave me a little blog love while you're here.

    Chalkboard is one of my favorite new techniques, and you did it beautifully here, Carolyn. The poppies worked perfectly, as did all the other details. Thanks for playing along with us this week at The Paper Players!

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
