Paper Players Challenge #65-A Sketch from AM


This week at the Paper Players, the wonderful Anne Marie Hile has come up with a fabulous sketch for us!  I am right into my Spice Cake Designer Paper!  My Auntie Kerry, asked me to design a Sympathy card that she could use for her stash...so I made one with the "Always Thankful" Stamp set and the "Petite Pairs" stamp set.  I hope she likes the card I designed.  To help her recreate the card at home, I have added the measurements below for her...if you would like to use the measurements, please feel free too!


Measurements:
Panels-Soft Suede-4" x 1 5/8"
Spice Cake Designer Paper Panels 3 3/4" x 1 3/8"
Main Panel- 3" x 4" in Soft Suede
Vanilla Panel (where image is stamped)- 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
Tools used: Heat Gun, Clear Embossing Powder, Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch
Stamps: Woodgrain Background Stamp, Petite Pairs Sentiment stamps (they fit perfectly in the ovals)
Inks: Soft Suede, Versamark (clear craft ink)


We hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

    I want to marry this paper. Or eat it. :) It is so awesome! I love how you used it on your card; it is perfect for that beautifully embossed image! No need to color when you can make it look that good!

    I think there will be a mad rush to stock up on Spice Cake DSP before the Hiliday Mini retires! That paper is fabulous! I love how you used the mix of patterns on this one. The monochromatic colors are so pretty. Big hugs to you, my friend! :)
