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:

I hope to see you playing along with us this week; before you start getting inky, please check out the awesome projects from the rest of the design team! There’s something for everyone!

Hello friends and welcome to another awesome challenge from The Paper Players! This week we have a sketch for you, created by the very talented LeAnne:

I must admit that this sketch had me stumped for a bit. I went through my stamps looking for inspiration and found just a glimmer of an idea and then worked it’s way to fruition:

I started with the Ombre Builders stamp set from PTI and randomly chose ink colors I thought would be pleasing. I did try to stay pretty gender neutral with the colors. I used my MISTI to stamp the ombre stamp, adding a layer according to the sketch. This was a bit of a worrisome process because a goof up meant that I would have to start all over again, but hey, what’s life without a little excitement? lol

The sentiment is from the stamp set Wet Paint, also by PTI. I thought it was perfect, big and graphic! I did have an idea where I wanted to stamp my sentiment so I chose the order of my background colors to ensure a few light shades where the sentiment should go. Can you see how I offset the right hand side of the banner just a bit? That was actually an accident because I hadn’t planned on adding a layer of cardstock under my stamped banner. So I ended up with three choices: chop the green off the right hand side; line the edge of the banner up with the edge of the card and have the stamping be offset; or Just have the right side hang off the edge of the card a bit. I like it. I think it adds interest to the card. Who knew??

I LOVE these candles from the PTI stamp set Wishes Come True! Don’t they look like real candles?? I think the little twine bow finishes them off very nicely. Oh…and about those three banners in the sketch?? I forgot to add them before adhering my banner so I improvised and used sprinkles instead. Whoops!!
