The Paper Players Challenge

The latest Paper Players challenge is a sketch challenge hosted by Ann. I found an old background that I hot foiled with matte white foil over Tropical Teal card stock. I received the Sizzix "Chilly and Freezy" thinlits dies as a freebie gift a couple of years ago and never used it! It's such a cute die set and fun to assemble. 

 

STAMPS: Just Sentiments: Warmth (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Versamark; Pure Poppy, Dark Chocolate, Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest, Canyon Clay (PTI).

PAPER: Tropical Teal, True Black, Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics, Stitched Sentiment Strips (My Favorite Things); Joyful Snowman (PTI); Chilly & Freezy (Sizzix).

OTHER: White embossing powder; Martha Stewart glitter; Matte white hot foil; Red button (PTI).

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by!  ~Wanda

 

Color Throwdown #504

Can you believe we're into August already? There's a new Color Throwdown Challenge happening with  a combo of more somber colors - black, white and copper - brought to us by Amy Rohl!  I'll have to admit I really liked this striking combo which was very much out of the norm for me.  Fortunately, I didn't need a sympathy card, but thought this would work to build up my stash.

I copper embossed the butterfly from a Tim Holtz stamp/die set by Sizzix.  I popped it up on foam tape (along with the sentiment which is from PTI's Blooming Button Bits set). A touch of metallic copper cardstock was added for detailing and this was a quick and easy card to throw together!  Patterned papers are from Bazzill Basics Paper "Licorice" 6x6 pad. 

We're really excited to have the talented Joy Taylor from Simple By Design as our August guest designer!  You will not want to miss her awesome samples!
