Happy Sunday, peeps! And Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, step-moms and pet-moms out there! Ann is our Paper Players hostess this week and she has a perfectly delightful color challenge for us!
I chose Smoky Slate as my additional color! I stamped and diecut my images, coloring the florals and bird with either Blends or Markers. I did emboss the bird house elements with the Timber embossing folder and very lightly added some Smoky Slate ink on top...you can barely see it!
I added a little silver pearl on the top, as well as some stamped embellishments on the roof elements. Finally, it all went on a panel of Basic White, embossed with the Eyelet embossing folder. I left off a sentiment, as I am not sure for what occasion I'll use this...it could be used for almost anything!
I hope you'll play along with these gorgeous shades that Ann has put together for us--I know I love them! Check out the Paper Players blog to see what the other team members came up with! Hope to see you there!
Dana usually takes me out flower/plant shopping for Mother's Day, and yesterday we made a trip to a local Amish nursery. We have LOTS of Amish nurseries in our area, so we decided to try a new one and although it was smaller than some, it didn't disappoint:
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet LeAnne - I love the woodgrain texture and background embossing too. Such a pretty card! My birdhouses are seeing a lot of action right now - one sadly has an unhatched nest of 10 eggs :-( but the other box has 7 hatched blue tits that are now 11 days old and growing stronger each day!
