This week at the Paper Players, Jaydee has a wonderfully clean and simple sketch for us! Here is my take on Jaydee's challenge! Yep, I used the Crimper for my Poppy Parade background! I love that tool and that colour! I also decided to use the set called "Easter Blooms" it is retiring at the end of June, it is one of my favourite sets to use! I also used the cherry blossom from that set on the inside for a little inside "character".

Anyway, I decided to take a couple of photos of the yard and took a quick pic of myself..hehehe...not the best photo, but I was feeling happy because my report cards are done! I also decided to take a photo or two of my peonies!!! I just love how huge they get to be!!!! Corey and I just love how hearty they are. They were planted here before we bought the house and they come out every year. I love that the garden is self-sufficient! LOL!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
Smiles,
Lesley

Ooooh, love seing your yard and the fabulous scenery---look at that WATER view! And those peonies? OMG, drop-dead gorgeous--they look just the the set on your siggy! Your card is beautifully simple and elegant. I agree with Rita--you are Queen of the Q-rimper! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Lesley, especially with the classic bold combo of red and black. Your card is classy and elegant, and I LOVE that those pretty stripes are from the crimper.
ReplyDeleteSweet card, sweet picture of you, sweet peonies! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFantastic CAS card, Lesley. Such a classic colour combo. I agree with Nance .... your peonies look just like the ones on your siggy! LOL I love your self potrait too :)
ReplyDeleteCAS sketches are my favorite challenges! Great use of the crimper on your card :>) Beautiful peonies too, one of my favorite flowers. I have one in my backyard too, but not as big, hopefully someday :>)
ReplyDeleteWhat is that peeking out from behind that pretty card? Is it an amazing view of the water? WOW!! Good thing you got all that painting finished, I'm coming to visit. HeeHee! Love the card! Poppy Parade is such a fun color and it just pops with basic black and white. Adorable pic of you, too. Congrats on finishing those report cards. Whew! You are that much closer to sumer vacation! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove the card! The colors are perfect!
ReplyDeleteAlso love the pictures of your garden ... so beautiful! ;D
Clean and simple perfection, Lesley! You rocked this challenge for sure!
ReplyDeleteLesley... report cards done... that's fantastic! But then again, so are your peonies. We planted them a couple of years ago and are so thrilled that they keep coming back again and again. They are such incredibly showy flowers. I just adore them.
ReplyDeleteI adore your take on this sketch, too. It's as bold and beautiful as the peonies.
