Hello, stampers! It’s Sunday, it’s Father’s Day, and I do not have a masculine card for the Paper Players today!! Oh well! Today’s challenge is a wonderful CAS sketch:
and since is was so sweet and simple, I incorporated a couple other challenges as well: Just Add Ink was to “just colour it in”, and the Play Date Cafe color challenge 86 was this fun palette:
I pulled out the sweet little girl image from Greeting Card Kids for my CAS card:
Perhaps it’s not 100% “clean & simple” but it’s fairly simple! I did add some doodads to my panel and a little button & bling as well! But I had so much fun watercoloring!
She is stamped in Stazon black and then colored with reinkers and an aquapainter in shades of Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango and Melon Mambo. Of course, she had to have brown hair like my little cutie!
And she matches those colors, too! Thanks so much for visiting—your comments make our day! Please visit the Paper Players blog and play along with us…..it’s a nice easy sketch, so relax and have fun! And check out what the other designers have come up with as well!

I'm not sure which is more adorable your sweet little girl card or that sweet little granddaughter! Both are just perfect!! Love the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your post everyday, I really love your style. I don't often take the time to comment, though! But I have so much fun seeing Cassidy grow up in a new photo everyday. I have two 8-month-old blue-eyed granddaughters, and it's fun to compare them to your very adorable granddaughter!!

Great card LeAnne. You make it look so easy to combine challenges. And every father loves his little girl(s), so in a way, this is for the fathers of all the little girls! I must try that image...she is precious just like your Cassidy!
