Happy Wednesday afternoon,
I made a couple of cards using Joanne's color theme for The Paper Players Challenge. One uses all SU products and the other uses SU card stock and a SSS image colored with colored pencils.
For the all SU card, the stamp set is new from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog called Bottled Happiness. I stamped the images using the challenge colors and then did some fussy cutting. I made a wood grain background on the card base by scoring the card stock, then dragging a gray ink pad across the paper from both directions, then added a distress look by splattering the challenge colors over the panel with a paint brush. My layout uses the sketch from this week's Global Design Project Challenge.
I left the inside blank, but coordinated the layout with the outside of the cards.
The second card uses the SSS set called Mom's Spring Flowers.
The image is colored with colored pencils. It's cut out with the set die. The navy background is embossed using a SSS cover plate, but it doesn't show up in the photo. Using some SSS mini-slimline rectangle dies, I made the Fresh Freesia frame. In fact, I made three and stacked them together. The sentiment is pre-printed, also from SSS and I blended Fresh Freesia ink over it with a blending brush.
Enjoy the rest of the week, and thanks for looking in.
Colleen
