Hello,
I finished my card, or cards, for this week's Paper Players Challenge yesterday. I say cards, because a great sketch deserves more than one card and I made several using Jaydee's sketch. I'm posting two now, since they use the same papers.
For this first card, the main panel is made with an Altenew 3-D embossing folder. I don't own this one, but my sister does and when we were both visiting our mom during the summer, we each brought stamping supplies with us. She had a few of her Altenew embossing folders, so I just grabbed some card stock and made a bunch of panels. This is one of those. I cut it down to fit the sketch and then used white craft ink over the raised areas. The top piece I made yesterday with the Honey Bee Pineapple stencil and coordinating inks.
The sentiment is from one of my Altenew stamp sets. I cut it out with the oval dies in the GKD Master Layouts 1 die set, then trimmed it to fit on my card front. I used some SU black sequins cording across the line dividing the two panels, and also added some blackberry twine above that. To make the stamens, actually the anthers, stand out, I went over them with a white gel pen.
Here is the inside of this card. Sentiment is from a mini GKD set.
I didn't want the other pieces of the panels to go to waste, so I just reversed them for the second card and I like this one just as much.
The black postage stamp die is from another GKD Master Layouts die set and the embossed greeting is from a GKD mini stamp set. The black cording is again from Stampin' Up.
Here's the inside of this card.
I'm watching the Rafa semi-final match tonight as I write this. Hoping he keeps going. I also hope you all have a great Friday! Thanks for stopping by,
Colleen

These are AMAZING! I wondered when I saw it in the gallery, if it was designer paper or stamped, but to see that it's EMBOSSED really kicks this up a notch! Both cards are stunning! I am not a purple user but these really stand out, Colleen! Great job! Thanks so much for sharing these with us at the Players this week!
