Happy Sunday, peeps! Time for a new Paper Players challenge with Laurie as our hostess! Here's her theme challenge for us this week!
Wow, you could go in many directions with this one! I would say I do NOT have a green thumb...I always joke that my father was a farmer and my grandfather had a florist shop and greenhouses, but none of those genes were passed down to me! However, I do have some pretty greenery and floral papers, so I decided to use some of them today. Here we go:
They were layered on a piece of Granny Apple Green DSP that was embossed with the Stitched Greenery die...can you see the little leaves? So cute! The sentiment is a really old Cornish Heritage Farms one, and I think it is such a sweet one! I stamped it in Old Olive and diecut it with a Tailor Made Tag die, then added some Blushing Bride ribbon, and I also fussy-cut a couple of flowers from the scraps of the DSP. I added a birthday sentiment on the inside, and this card is ready to go!
The possibilities for this challenge are wide open, so I hope you'll come play with us. Check out what the design team created over at the Paper Players blog, and share yours too! Thanks for visiting today!

What a sweet card LeAnne! I love the added texture with the stitched greenery on the dsp! And cutting out some of the images from the paper was a great idea to add to the sentiment. I also do not have a green thumb and I think that is why I love the flower dsps! Thanks for joining the hand stamped sentiments sketch challenge!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and pretty, LeAnne - LOVE these delicate papers together! Great use of the background die, too - it all sings perfectly together! Thanks so much for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

ReplyDeleteI think you're doing yourself a dis-service - you are more green-fingered than you give yourself credit for!! Love your delicate and pretty floral choices for your card and that sentiment made me smile - so true!
ReplyDeletePretty papers LeAnne! I don't have a green thumb either, though I do try, lol! Great job with the theme and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I have seen those veggies you grow, I know you have a green thumb! I love this card. Those paper are so pretty! The layout is so fun and all that green is gorgeous! Your little tag sentiment is so sweet, too!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I just love that DSP it is so pretty and I love the layout, too. You mixed these DSPs together beautifully and I love the additional detail of the leaf pattern on the polka dots, the scalloped edges and that cute little ribbon on the tag. Fabulous card - oh... and what a view!

Beautiful card, LeAnne! I love how you layered the Stitched Greenery die on patterned paper, and your floral paper choices are fabulous. I, too, have black thumbs--but at least my paper can have pretty flowers on it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely combination of patterns and textures, LeAnne! The ribbon treatment accents this amazing sentiment perfectly. And speaking of perfect...this card is absolutely perfect for this challenge. Have a wonderful weekend!
