Joyful Season – The Paper Players & Sweet Sunday Sketch

Joyful Season - The Paper Players & Sweet Sunday SketchWhen I saw The Paper Players challenge this week, I knew I wanted to play along. I have been itching to ink this stamp set up and they gave me my motivation! A great sketch over at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge gave me my layout and the colors over at Colour Me…! gave me my colors!! This card pretty much jumped into my head complete, I just need to fuss with the details (love when that happens!).

Joyful Season - The Paper Players & Sweet Sunday SketchI was having technical difficulties with my ScanNCut…it refused to recognize the cardinal at all and only recognized PART of my branch šŸ™Ā  The branch is supposed to have more berries, but they were cut off. But I didn’t let that derail my enthusiasm, I went with what I had and fussy cut the cardinal out!

Lest you think I forgot part of the greeting…it’s on the inside!

A shout out to my inspiration:

I’m also entering my card into the Global Design Project as my project fits perfectly with the challenge this week:)
