Good Morning,
Today is Sunday and that means it is time for a new challenge over at The Paper Players. I hope you all will make a project of your own and join us in this challenge. I picked an adorable stamp set, some fun colors and brand new patterned paper. Here's a sneak peak at my card.
Claire is bringing us a timely theme challenge this week. Rainy Days is the theme for this week. For this challenge create a card that in some way shows your take on rainy days. Does anyone else hear the song Rainy Days and Mondays in their head right now?
The design team has created some creative projects to inspire you. Stop by our challenge page to see what we made. Drop us a comment while you are there.
For my card I started with a 4" by 5 1/4" piece of Balmy Blue cardstock embossed with the Raindrops Embossing folder. This was adhered to a Thick White card base.
A 1 3/4" by 5 1/4" piece of Zoo Crew DSP was layered onto a 1 15/16" by 5 1/4" piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardcardstock. This was attached to the left side of the card front.
The fox, puddle and sentiment from the Playing in the Rain stamp set was stamped with black ink. The fox was colored with Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Pumpkin Pie blends. The coordinating dies cut out the fox and puddle. The fox and puddle were attached to a Petal Pink circle with dimensionals. Then adhered to the card front. The circle was the largest from the Stylish Shapes dies.
The banner for the sentiment came from the Stylish Shapes dies. The banner was attached with dimensionals.
I added some black Classic Matte Dots to finish the card.
I hope you join us at The Paper Players this week. We would love to see what you create for this sketch challenge. You can enter your project from now until noon PST on Friday, May 12, 2023. See all the rules and requirements on the challenge page.
