Paper Players Sketch!
February 24, 2011
Happy Thursday!! It's a busy day here in our household--well, at least for me! Gym, orthodontist, Character Counts awards, orchestra concert!! whew--I'm tired just thinking about it!! :-) So, I'm posting early for your viewing pleasure!!
Today's card is based on the sketch over at The Paper Player's blog!
This sketch really caught my eye--I thought it would be fun to work with! And, it was! Here's my card:
The card is a "weird" size--it's 4 x 8 1/2, when closed. It will fit in a business-sized envelope! And, for fun, I used the Jolly Holiday Designer Paper!! I have so much left over after the holidays, and these prints are really holiday themed! What do you think? Does it look like a Christmas card? I hope not! How do you like my little birthday banner--it was cut using the Petal Cone Die!! That might be my favorite part of the die! For the stamped images, I used an old favorite, Vintage Vogue. Colors are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. Not sure I'm crazy about the Daffodil Delight--what do you think? It needed a third color, but I couldn't decide. I pulled out my Color Coach, and it was listed under Cherry Cobbler!! So, it's not really my fault!! haha!
Hope you have a wonderful day!! I'll see ya again tomorrow!

I am always trying to use up the Jolly Holly DSP...never works for me. You did good by adding in the 3rd color to make it work for a Birthday card. Great Job! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players this week!
