PP727 Spring Flowers

Happy Sunday, everyone! Time for a new Paper Players challenge, and Claire is our lovely hostess this week with a very timely challenge for us:

I just got a new set called You Are Remarkable (available in a couple of days as an Online Exclusive) and I just love it!  I made a little pocket card with it:

I got my inspiration from the Inspired By prompt, and I did some stenciling as well for the JUGS challenge:

I first created my card base with a background piece of Pistachio Pudding cardstock on which I stenciled a floral pattern with the retired Butterflies & Flowers masks.  The pocket is a piece of 4"x4" gingham paper that was cut in half diagonally, each piece was adhered with Sticky Strip.  I did want to add a little border, so before adhering, I trimmed off 1/8" from each panel and used the pieces as an embellishment on either side of the panel.  The border is Lemon Lolly, diecut with the Be Mine Stitched dies.

This stamp is a two-step stamp, so I stamped my floral outline image in Smoky Slate on an Everyday Arches diecut, then added the details with Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight inks:

It stamps beautifully! I love it!

My final addition was the sentiment from the same set,  also stamped on an Everyday Arches diecut. Some pearls and a bit of Lemon Lolly baker's twine finished it off!

I know I will be giving this set lots of attention, as there are more sweet sentiments in it to play with!  And I hope you'll play with our challenge this week...it's been a dreary winter and we all can use some pretty spring flowers in our lives!  Share your creation with us at the Paper Players and check out the other spring flower designs as well!
