Good Morning Stampers,
Welcome to The Paper Players challenge # 292. Claire has a great sketch challenge for us today. It's right up my alley! I love layers and I know many of you do to.
I'm using another "new to me" stamp set, which I think is just too cute! Especially this image and sentiment that goes with it.
I wanted to do a water colored background for this little guy in some nice bright hues. I used Zig water color markers on an acrylic block to smoosh yellow, pink and orange onto water color paper. The vertical layers are simply cut and I used the top layer to stamp the sentiment. I debated this placement, but finally decided I liked it. The image is cut out with a Die-namics Pierced Circle die and popped up on dimensionals. Finally, my favorite embellishments, sequins, were added.Though I didn't take a picture of the inside, I made this card a thank you card.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you make with this great sketch from Claire. You can check out the rest of the DT cards here:

LOL..how cute! I can relate to that little bird, who isn't happy when they're eating french fries, right? Your background is super, too!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteColleen you had me right away with that cute bird and hysterical sentiment! Love this!
ReplyDeleteLOL, this little bird looks like he swallowed that french fry and more! Love this sentiment and the way you've stamped it vertically. Fun background too! Enjoy your short work week and fun trip!
ReplyDeleteLove the vertical sentiment and that funny little bird, but top marks go to the watercoloured background - this is just beautiful and brings all of the elements of your card together perfectly Colleen!
