The Paper Players! This is my year!

 Hello friends, 

Happy New Year!

I am thrilled to be one of the guest designers at The Paper Players for 2022! It's long been one of my favorite card challenges and will mean another weekly post for me as I play along. They have a wonderful line up of talented stampers who are such delightful people! 

The theme this week from Ann, is Sparkle! 

I loved the bright blue night skies and bokeh lights and gold sparkle! 

I put them together in today's card. 


I began by stamping the Christmas Rose image (WPlus9) and embossed it in gold. Masking allowed me to sponge Distress and Oxide inks just into the large blossoms for added shading and depth. 

A bit of splatters and gem stones added to the sparkle. I just love the sentiment (SU - Snowflake Wishes). I really like combining metallics on a card! I embossed the sentiment in Platinum. 


Can't wait to see how your cards sparkle! 


Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Wow! This caught my attention with the gold and blue, especially the deep blues you added to the flower centers! Congrats on a new adventure with hosting. I will try to be more attentive to this challenge this year.
