Paper Players 53

DSCF0158

Happy Sunday!  I am glad to be back blogging and creating!  The Paper Players have a wonderful sketch for us today:

Challenge 53

and I must admit, I had a BLAST making this card!  I used the Color Throwdown colors for this week; here is the yummy inspiration photo from Design Seeds:

If you EVER need color inspiration, check out their blog….incredible!  Kristin chose the colors of Black, Sage Shadow, Cherry Cobbler and Blushing Bride, so I went through my DP stash and came up with this:

DSCF0159-1

I knew there was a raspberry image in the Botanical Gazette DP, so I punched that as my main image. I also pieced the text paper it was on, and used it as my background paper.   The other DPs were lightly stamped with various images from Nature Walk and French Foliage, stitched and daubered:

I stamped the little bee on some vellum, shaded the back with More Mustard, then added some Jelly Roll sparkle:

The sentiment is from You’re A Gem, which is a gem of a set! I hope you will play along with the Paper Players using this great sketch, and be sure to hover on over to their blog to see the other designers’ creations!

LeAnne I LOVE this card! I love the colors and sewing (whoo hoo - ambitious) but the raspberry focal point is favorite. I bought the stamp set just for the raspberry stamp even though I know the it's on the botanical paper too. Love it. The bee is the finishing touch. Perfect! Hugs.

Anne Marie Hile said...

Sandra already beat me to it...Lol!! I was wondering if that was one of Ann's bees, too. Tee hee! This is just so gorgeous, LeAnne! The only word that comes to mind is "Shabby-Tastic". So many beautiful details all wrapped up beautifully together. Cassidy's toothy-grin instantly brought a smile to my face, too. Have a great day! Hugs :)

Elaine M said...

LeAnne, this is absolutely stunning! Each and every element is placed perfectly...not too much, not too little. Love the vintage feel and your stitching! GREAT sketch - your interpretation is awesome!

Cassidy is so cute...she is one of those adorable kids who just brings a smile to your face. Love how she is so focused on getting that pea and the last piece of meat, and seems to feel quite accomplished when she finishes! LOL I used to take a ton of consecutive shots when Tia was that age...it's like a mini flip book :]
