One Layer Valentine for the Paper Players Challenge #179


Hello Everyone,

How are you today on this Happy Tuesday.

This weeks challenge at the Paper Players is to create a Single layer Valentine's Card. 


The card I've created is Whisper White and uses some of the new gold washi tape and a Chalk Talk Tag.  The accents are created with Raspberry Ripple, Coastal Cabana and Gold Foil Card.  Here is my card.

Something I rarely do is stamp directly onto my card base, so I do find a One-Layer card quite a challenge as I'm usually all for adding layers.  I used Gorgeous Grunge stamp set with Coastal Cabana Ink for those little splashes and added more touches of Coastal Cabana with the heart punch and tiny butterfly from the Beautiful Wings embosslits.  The Raspberry Ripple tag from the Chalk talk set was stamped with Whisper White Ink and the Espressions Thinlits "Love" was cut from the Gold Foil. 


The Gold Washi is called Watercolour Wonder Washi and is available in the new Occasions catalogue available from 28th January.

Thanks so much for stopping by today on this Happy Tuesday and please feel free to leave me a comment so that I know you've been.  I love hearing from you.

    Hi Carolyn! Your card is very pretty, but our one-layer challenge really means that you are not to have any other cardstock on your card except the card base. You can check the challenge for a better explanation. The washi and stamping are fine though! I guess some stampers were a wee bit confused as they added layers too. I love the "love" sentiment in gold though! We thank you for playing along nonetheless!!

      No worries, LeAnne. Sorry I didn't follow challenge criteria. I'm happy with my card anyway. Thanks for your comments.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

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

Image
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...
