This week’s challenge at the Paper Players is a sketch by Nance:
I did a non-Christmas card today, in a color I rarely go to: green!
I thought this was a lovely sketch with lots of possibilities! I use elements from Friends 24-7, Vintage Vogue and Style Beautiful (the scallops) shades of Wild Wasabi, Garden Green and Chocolate Chip. The DP, which was embossed with the Square Lattice EF is called Woodland Walk; I did some distressing on it to give it a “shabby chic” look. Finally, I added some Victoria Crochet Trim, a little twine loop, a Vintage brad, and a little button and pearl embellishment.
You should definitely try out this sketch and post your creation over at the Paper Players! They’d love to have you! Thanks for looking today!
Oh, and I had a great time stamping with some friends yesterday---I’ll post some pictures in the days to come!!!
Now here’s a little shot of a sleepy baby just waking up:

ReplyDeleteAwesome card!! Love the colors and all the wonderful embellishing/textures on your card.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this is gor-juss! I love what you've done with the sketch. Especially {heart} the stamping below the scallop border, the distressed paper and the beautiful crochet trim...stunning! {hugs}
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the texture on the DSP! The button with the pearl is just beautiful! Of course, you just can't beat a touch of lace!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love all the layers. The little flower button with the pearl is my favorite part.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous LeAnne! Love all the lace - Have you ever made a green card - lol?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving... can the baby eat mashed potatoes? For Alex's 1st T'day we gave him a jar of sweet potatoes and strained turkey - yum!
Love this card. The color is fresh and I love that you did some shabby/vintage touches to the final product.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, fabulous card. The elements from the different sets come together so beautifully and I love the fact that you kept the top clean and simple to showcase the lower elements. Just gorgeous
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, my friend
