It’s Sunday and that means another fun challenge from The Paper Players! My stint as a guest designer is winding down, only three more after this (sniff), so I’m going to make them count!! This week’s challenge is a fun one, as well as very timely with Father’s Day just around the corner:
I found the BEST pack of 6×6 paper while at the Scrapbook Expo and have been itching to use it…it’s perfect for this challenge!! I may have gone overboard on all the patterns, but I couldn’t pick just one or two…
Aren’t they AWESOME!!!??? And I found a stamp set I purchased YEARS ago that had never seen ink (unfortunately), called Watch Set #3 by Rubbernecker Stamps that coordinates perfectly with the background paper!! I stamped and fussy cut one of the watches out and then added Crystal Effects to mimic the glass in the watch face.
I die cut my sentiment out of black card stock three times and adhered the layers together to give it depth, but it still needed more to pop from all of that busy paper so I added Crystal Effects to it too.
Isn’t it a fun die cut? I love all the coordinating sayings to pair with it. It’s Wet Paint by Papertrey Ink. I purchased it a long time ago, but didn’t realize that it had dies, and then the die set was sold out for forever, but I finally got it!! Yay!
I’m not much on patience so after applying all the Crystal Effects I forced myself to LEAVE the house and run an errand, just to make certain I left it alone long enough to set up! lol
I need to give thanks to the design team over at the Fusion Card Challenge for the awesome sketch inspiration:
And a quick shot of the inside of the card:

This is just AWESOME! I love your vintage papers & image, and that CE really makes your sentiment POP!
Shannon – I love all the combination of patterns on this card and also how the crystal effects makes the sentiment POP! I can so relate to being impatient waiting for it to dry!!! 🙂
I think the different patterned paper is what makes this card spectacular. Very cool and masculine! I don’t have good luck with Crystal Effects but you make me want to try it again. Great card, Pal!
Wow, this paper is fabulous and the watch works perfectly with it! Great job with the Crystal Effects too – I usually end up with a fingerprint in mine as I can’t help but touch it 🙂
Love this, that clock paper and the tiny polka dots are wonderful, great find!!
Awesome masculine creation, Shannon! Love those papers, but I love that super glossy sentiment even more!
I love the paper combination Shannon – they all work so well together, as does the ‘forgotten’ uninked stamp – it was made for this card! I love the glossy die cut sentiment too – the perfect masculine card for my challenge this week!
WOW!!!!! I love this card! The papers are amazing and that watch just made me smile! Love the glossy accents on the sentiment, too! Just perfect for a masculine card, My Friend! XX
Wow, wow, wow! I love your card!! The designer paper is just perfect and that pocket watch image is amazing!
Such an awesome masculine card!
