It’s Sunday and time to play with The Players! This week The Paper Players are hosting an “Anything Goes Challenge”. Feel free to enter any NEW creation. As for me, with the hectic week that I have had, I opted to design something relatively quick and easy. If the layout looks familiar, it was featured as a Buried Treasures card. I hope you enjoy the little Scooter from On the Grow!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
- Double emboss! The Daffodil Delight panel was zipped through the Big Shot with the Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It was then brayered with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The result is texture with a lovely shine!
- Watercolor! The “Scooter” image was inked with VersaMark and stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock. It was then heat embossed with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Blender Pens and inks were used to quickly color the image. Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive hues were used.
- Vintage touches! The edges of all layers were distressed with Crumb Cake ink. The Seven-Sided Tool from the Cutter Kit was used to rough up the edges of the image mat. Instant speckles were provided by the Color Spritzer Tool and a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker. Instant watermarks were provided with the Watermark stamp from the French Foliage set.
- Diamonds, Pearls and Lace! For just a touch of sparkle, Dazzling Diamonds were added to the seat, headlight, and tire rims of the scooter. Basic Pearls bedeck the Scallop Trim Border Punch and accent the flowers. A snippet of Victoria Crochet Trim was threaded through the Old Olive Satin Ribbon Bow and was also scrunchied!
This card will be heading to the Chicago area to Brittney Jade Colangelo of The Schach Pack, my downline group. Brittney just celebrated her birthday. I hope she likes it. How about you?

This was such a cute card. In fact when I saw it last week it inspired me to use the scooter, which I never inteded on ever using when I bought the set! lol TFS!
So Pretty! Love the accent on the bow and the colors are fabulous!
What a sweet little card. I am sure Brittney will love this… So bright and cheery!!!! I love all the techniques you use… I have learned so much from your blog. Thanks for sharing all your talents with us.

Love it Ann! Great colors, adorable stamp and I love that shiny embossed background–what a great technique! ((hugs))
I love this! It is so girli perfect! The ribbon with the lace, and the passion pink with the flowers in the back…and a scooter yet! Hmmm. That is the color I want for one!!! I love the colors and the designs (from the folders etc.) that you used. Ann, you can make the most plain (I guess I should say original) piece of paper come alive by the treatment of it…and then putting it together with doing the same thing with another and then with the ribbon(s)! I find with your cards, so many need NO sentiments (which is unusual for cards) because how you create brings so much to mind. What a great thing to be able to evoke that in the eyes of your audience! I hope your day has been great. Samara xox
Neat card, Ann! That stamp would be a fun one to use.
There is now a new furry friend in our family. The daughter that lives close to us adopted a Brittany/Lab mix 11-week old puppy today. Chloe is beautiful – champagne colored.

Ann, this is a cute card. Love the double embossed look.
What a gorgeous card, Ann!!! These “Anything Goes” challenges are super hard for me to do as we’re expected to go off the cuff. I do better wth parameters but I love what you did with the various techniques! Hope you had a great weekend!
Quick and simple or whatever you said – I don’t think so! Good lord, the details alone had to take hours! This is one bright and cheery card! Can’t believe how much bling you managed to pack in there! You are totally amazing!

You always have such neat ideas, thanks for the detail too!
Well I love the sparkly seat and that scrunchy lacy ribbon! Some day I am going to learn to color like a grown up – love how the scooter came out 🙂
I fell in love with this stamp set because of the scooter. Yet, when I got it and colored it, I was never happy with the outcome. I love how you have watercolored it and will definitely give that a try. Another breathtaking card Ann! Your blog posts are always exceptional too!
Ruched lace, sparkles, textures on prints, snippets in the bow–where do I start? I love this card, Ann! The bright colors are wonderful, too!
You are really having fun with your Dazzling Diamonds, aren’t you? Do you sparkle in the sunshine? I always do, whenever I play with glitter. Lucky girl getting this cute card!
A very fun card Ann. Lots going on from the shimmer and bling to the the double embossing. I really like the colours. They are bright and cheery and combine very nicely. I am sure Britteny will enjoy!
that is so darn cute, love it
Super talent was used on this card. You really pour yourself into your cards. Full of details and wonderful colors. Just lovely as can be.

Very pretty card, Ann! I love the colors and your watercoloring ROCKS! TFS!
Hi Ann,
I love this card, not only for the layering and coloring but for the scooter. It looks like the scooter from our daughter, it´s also really red.

what about the boxer twins, didn´t they have any conversation we could listen?
hugs and smiles Conny
These colours are super cute Ann. Your watercolouring is fabulous, and I love the way you double embossed the background. I am sure your pal will love this card!
Hugs,

Ann… Wow! LOVE the colors and perfect bow. I thought you said it was a ‘simple’ card, but you’ve managed to use sooooooooo many techniques.
Love the idea about the BG shiny look. Will try this out soon.
It’s bright and cheery and just the right bling, and so darn pretty your friend will LOVE it!
Have a great holiday weekend. Hugs.
Another winner, Ann! You never fail to deliver one amazing card after another. Enjoy your weekend!

This card is so adorable. Love all the little details of this card. Thanks for blessing my Sunday. 🙂 Hope the twins are doing smashingly this weekend. Woof, woof.
Oh Ann…I adore you. I don’t see anything quick OR easy about that card! LOL It IS adorable though. 🙂 I wish I could get my color spritzer to work like you do; maybe one of these days.
What an adorable card! So many wonderful details! Love the bright colors and all the sparkle!
Tons of detail on this one. Love it. Love the texture on the dsp and then the embossing. The pearls are wonderful and add just the right touch as do the dazzling diamonds. Really great card. Great Job as usual.
What an incredible job Ann! Loaded with detail and techniques, I certainly admire all the thought you put into your cards! Well Done!
Wonderful! I love all those gorgeous colors together. And so many beautiful details. Great job!
