Happy Sunday, peeps! Hope you’re having a great weekend! Jaydee has a lovely BLUE inspiration for us this week!
Blue is my favorite color, especially these shades, but I was really stumped as to what to make this week! I think my mind is on fall shades! I pulled out a set from last year (that I was VERY sad to not see in this year’s catty), Perfectly Preserved. It has a lot of nice fall images, but it also has a pretty floral image, so I used it for my card today:
I stamped the jar in Versamark and Midnight Muse, then embossed it with clear embossing powder so that I could easily add the “water” inside without bleeding. I used watercolor paper so the ink flowed easily. I stamped some florals in the challenge colors (and I added Pistachio Pudding stems….I hope Jaydee doesn’t kick me out!), and then a sweet sentiment from Petite Pairs.
I always need sympathy cards, so I am trying to get ahead!
Hope you can find some inspiration from these colors---and share your creation with us at the Paper Players blog! Can’t wait to see it! And check out what the other designers created as well:
Enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne I had to come back and take another look at this post to see how you did the piercing, and I see in my haste to compliment your creation the first time I spelled your name wrong. A thousand pardons :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty sympathy card. I agree, always a good idea to have a few on hand. The stitched look around the outside is a very nice touch.
