Sending Love

Hello,

Here's my card for this week's Paper Players challenge. LeAnne is our hostess with the monthly color challenge. For this challenge, LeAnne chose SU colors of Lemon Lolly, Soft Sea Foam, and Lost Lagoon. 

I debated on what kind of card to make. I stenciled up a pretty poinsettia, which I really liked, but then I tried making a diagonal gatefold card with it and messed it up totally. So, I then decided to use a new flower stencil bundle from Gina K Designs. This bundle includes layering stencils, Polyglaze sheets and dies. I used all of these to make this card. The card stock and inks I used are all from SU in LeAnne's colors.

 

This is a 5 x 7 inch size card and to help with the layout I used Gina K Designs Master Layouts 8 and 20. As I mentioned, I did use the Polyglaze printed sheets for this card, foiled in gold deco foil. After completing the stenciling using Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon inks, I cut out the flowers with the die and then ran the cutout through the GKD Swiss Dots embossing folder. To make the dots white in the inked areas, I used a paper sanding block to sand off the ink. 

Here's the inside of this card. I've used images and a sentiment from the GKD Gentle Silhouettes stamp set with the SU inks.

My foot is coming along after surgery. It still has a lot of swelling, but unless I'm on it more than I should be, which happened on a couple of days, there's not much pain any longer. The stitches come out a week from today. I'll tell you with all this sitting, I'm watching lots of stamping videos while crocheting a blanket and I'm getting lots of ideas. I'll probably forget half of them before I get to them. LOL.

Thanks for checking in,

Colleen
