Paper Players Challenge #13-Anything Goes!

This week at the Paper Players we are saying "Anything Goes"! 

This week we would like you to link up any new creation you make starting today through to Saturday.  This is your chance to share some of your work!  You are welcome to combine challenges...we just want to see and celebrate your work!  Please use any stamping product you have.

Today I am sharing a card that I made for the Pals Paper Arts #57.  I loved the sketch they offered! I also used the colours from the Colour Throwdown #107 which was to use So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, Rose Red and Pretty in Pink. 

I inked up the newest butterfly stamp set called "Butterfly Prints" and punched out the butterflies with the Extra Large Butterfly Punch.  I used some of the awesome Pear Pizzazz DS Paper from the Hostess Level One set and embossed the pear Pizzazz card stock with the Fine Details Texturz Plate!  The grass is from the "Inspired by Nature" stamp set.  I added some So Saffron with my Scallop Trim border punch and the sentiment is punch out with the wide oval punch and mounted on a tag from the "Lots of Tags" die.  I also used some of the new Basic Rhinestones to create the bodies of the butterflies.

Come on over to the Paper Players this week and link up any paper creation you would like to share!  We would love to come to your blog and see your work!  To link up your card, please click HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Players Challenge #12-Inspiration from Jaydee

The talented Jaydee has come up with a fabulous photo for us this week to use as an inspiration at the Paper Players Challenge Blog!  I was stumped at first with what to do but the colours really grabbed me, particularily Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Whisper White and Basic Black.  Here is the Inspiration Photo below!  Yummy isn't it!!!  Look at all that scrumptious food!  I thought of making a card that had a French Flair or maybe with some food images but the colours really stood out for me...loved those bright strawberries!!!

This is the card I came up with in Jaydee's Clean and Simple Style that I so admire.  I let the colours do all the work this week!  The white cardstock is actually Shimmery White Cardstock and really gleams in the light.  I used the "Inspired by Nature" Stamp set and the new "Word Play" Stamp set; I love this sentiment.  I left the butterflies simple...I just punched them out of So Saffron DSP with the Extra Large Butterfly Punch.  I was going to add pearls to make the butterflies' bodies but it was too heavy looking on the card.

Now it is your turn to play along!  Drop by the Paper Players Challenge Blog by clicking HERE and link up your creation.  The challenge ends Saturday, August 28th at 6pm.  We can't wait to see what you create!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Curtain Call Colour Challenge #31 and CAS-Tastic Challenge #5

This week at the Curtain Call Colour Challenge, Stacey went for some springy colours and I must admit, it was the first time I have used Garden Green!  Over at CAS-tastic they are looking for a Touch of Green!! So I was in luck!  I used my Stampin' Write Markers on the stamp and huffed it when I was done.  I edged the flowers in Navy and the main petals are in Amethyst.  The flower heads are all in Pretty in Pink as is the ribbon below the sentiment.  I love this new sentiment set from the Summer Mini...it is called "Favourite Thoughts", it stamps nicely.

I am in love with my new stamp set!  I have wanted this "Inspired by Nature" set for such a long time!  This one is going to a good friend who is celebrating her birthday in a couple of weeks!

Thanks for stopping by!
