The Paper Players Challenge - PP151

Hello Everyone,

There is a sketch challenge over at the Paper Players which I really loved the look of and I've been dying to play with, finally.  I've been a little snowed under this week and think I will just get my submission in by the deadline.  Here is my take on the sketch below.


How shimmery does my background look?  This was achieved by brayering over the Naturals Composition dsp with Frost White Shimmer paint.  It's one of those products on the retiring list.  After brayering I wiped it back a little with a damp cloth.  The paint does dry quickly because this paper.  I've stamped with my favourite butterfly stamp set Papillon Potpourri and the greeting is from the set Blooming with Kindness.

The multicoloured effect of the butterflies and greeting are from stamping into a Baby wipe which has been inked with several different reinkers and used like a stamp pad.  I have a picture below.  My cardstock is Wisteria Wonder and Very Vanilla.  Here is a better look at the butterflies, which I've punched and layered onto more Wisteria Wonder card.  I've embellished the centres with pearls.


This is the sketch below
Finally, here is a picture of the Baby Wipe that I stamped into.

Thanks so much for stopping by to view my card this week.  I hope this is a technique you will also try soon as its really easy and you can achieve such a pretty effect. 

Don't forget to leave me some blogging love.

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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! 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...
