The Paper Players #747

There's a CAS challenge at The Paper Players - Things with Wheels.  I forgot I had a set I could use until I saw some of the cards in the gallery and they inspired me to do this.

The bug and truck are from Newton's Nook Destination Christmas, colored with Altenew Artist Markers.  I used my scoreboard to make roads and added the sentiment from Honey Bee's Wonder of Christmas.

The Paper Players #742 and Color Throwdown #835

As I was working on a card for The Paper Players (Fresh and Fruity) I noticed that the same card would work for Color Throwdown with a little background change.

The lemons are from Lawn Fawn, cut from cardstock and shaded with Altenew Inks.  The panels are Pinkfresh Studio's Dotted Fancy Frames, one cut in turquoise for the color challenge,  and the sentiment is from Altenew's Weekend Doodles.

The Paper Players #735 and NBUS #73

I love it when an email shows up that leads me to a challenge.  Sometimes I forget to look at my list and that email is just the nudge I need.  Today I saw a couple for The Paper Players and got busy and made a card. 

I purchased the Sunflower Serenade from Spellbinders a while ago and thought it would work well for the sketch - all made from scraps.  A strip of Honey Bee paper that looks like burlap was die cut along the edges with HB's Deckle Edge die.  It kind of gave my card a rustic, country look.  The sentiment is a BetterPress done in brown. 

It's the first time using the sunflower so off it goes to Darnell's NBUS .

The Paper Players #729

This is my second post of the day.  The deadline for The Paper Players is fast approaching and I just saw it this morning.  Nothing like quickly making a card to keep you on your toes.

Joanne asked for a single stamped image on a clean and simple card and since I need alcohol marker practice and would like to add to my sympathy stash, I decided on these Penny Black Calla lilies called Elegance.  They are stamped in Memento London Fog and colored with Altenew artist markers. The sentiment is also from Penny Black.  

Thanks for dropping by - again.  I really appreciate it.

The Paper Players #727

Today's rain just might bring Spring flowers but you can find them anyway at the newest challenge at The Paper Players.  

Altenew's Daffodil Delight was stamped in VersaFine Clair Morning Mist and stenciled using Altenew inks.  The panel was trimmed and added to polka dot cardstock that I found among other paper so I have no idea of its maker but I thought the yellow and orange complimented the flowers.  The sentiment is from Altenew's One-Go Birthday Greetings.

The Paper Players #721

I have all my Valentine's made but I happened to see the Paper Players challenge and made another one.  

The little hedgehog is from Honey Bee's Heart Hugs.  I just love those darling animals!  I used Altenew Artist Markers to give him the spines on his back.  The letter, die cut and sub-sentiment are from a couple of older SSS sets. 

Thanks for dropping by.  If you are in the freeze zone, I hope you stay safe and warm.

The Paper Players #717 and NBUS #68

I had some time on my hands and went looking for a challenge to play in.  The Paper Players sketch worked great with a stamp from Spellbinders.

It's stamped on Bristol and watercolored with Distress Inks.  A scrap of plain red patterned paper made a great ribbon to match the sentiment. 

I got this set on sale a while ago but this is its first outing so I'm also sending my card to Darnell's NBUS.

The Paper Players #712

I went looking for a couple of challenges to play in yesterday and found The Paper Players.  The challenge closes soon so this is a quick post for a quick Clean and Simple card.

I started with blending Distress Inks on a panel of Bristol and cutting a Hero Arts tag from it.  The Santa silhouette is from Tim Holtz and the sentiment from Penny Black.  A little black and white twine finished it off.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great day!
