With Love The Paper Players #580

 I'm glad it is Sunday, time for a a sketch Challenge at The Paper Players! I play all kinds of card challenges, but I admit I prefer a sketch and I've been looking forward to creating with the lovely one that Anne Marie has designed for us. 

After choosing the oval die I wanted to use, imagine my delight in finding this gorgeous image already colored in my ready-to-go stash! 




The flowers and timepiece are all one image, and I colored them with Copics, then die cut them. The aded layers and tiny black speckles bring a vintage feel that I love. Amazingly there are vintage vibes drawn into the outline that make it easy from the first stamping. 

Dawn's latest sets at WPlu9, the florals are from Flora & Fauna 4. The sentiment, embossed with Liquid Platinum, comes from Flora & Fauna 3. Both sets have coordinating dies and through Feb 28 her spring 20% off sale is going on! 



The pretty papers are Summer Stems from Honeybee stamps. Yes, they are new to me, so I will enter this over at NBUS to Darnell's sweet challenge! 

I hope you will take the time to check out the inspiration from our talented team and join us in creating! I love seeing your cards in the gallery! 


 Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Goodness, you had this gorgeous thing all colored up and ready to go? It's amazing what you did with the sketch and your pretty flowers. Beautiful coloring. I was tempted by this stamp and then remembered I have something similar. A rare moment of clarity and frugality. Your card is so lovely, Cindy!

Gorgeous card, Cindy! I love that the original stamp gives you a vintage vibe without having to worry about how to layer all the elements together. Beautiful colors on the bouquet and the platinum-embossed sentiment is a great metallic contrast.

Your coloring always inspires me Cindy! These flowers just have so much detail and gorgeous color, I'm glad you got them out of the scrap bin and onto this beautiful creation. So very pretty! Thanks for rocking my sketch this week! :)
