Art Deco meets Southwestern style in today’s Desert Details card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, I have the pleasure of hosting our first theme challenge of 2023: Tag! You’re It! All you need to do is feature a tag on your project. While I used a tag for my sentiment, I can’t wait to see what you do with your tag. Yep! Let the fun begin!

Colors Of The Day

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
One of the first things to catch my eye in the new January – April Mini Catalog was the Delicate Desert Suite collection. The samples in the catalog were gorgeous. I loved the colors in the designer paper, while the Dry Brushed Metallic paper was stunning. I couldn’t wait to feature it with today’s card. Don’t you love the die cut frame and the stylized diamonds which showcase the Dry Brushed paper? The flower was actually stamped on the Gray Granite pattern from the Delicate Desert designer paper collection, as was the sentiment. Because I felt a little something else was needed in the upper right corner, I used the Enchanting Details dies to add an elegant swag, created from Distressed Gold paper.

Ann this card is just stunning! The foiling textures and those fabulous papers – they really make for layers of gorgeousness! So pretty.

Wonderfully unique design. Thanks so much for the lovely comment.
I dont think I have ever seen a “fusion” of styles as well done as this is. Distinctive and different!
Ann, I adore this card. I love anything with the SW feel. I lived in AZ for 3 years and miss it so much. I love the color combo, the flowers, the metallic features. I think this is just amazing! The tag element is so fun and the best idea for our theme this week! Great job!!!!!! Wishing you a fabulous New Year, My Friend!
There’s some really cool elements on this card, and I love the look!
This is definitely an eye-catching card…the metallic elements are stunning!
absolutly beautiful card 🙂
happy day
Such a gorgeous card, Ann! I really like this suite, it’s different than anything SU! has had before that I can think of. Can’t wait to get it in my hot little hands to play with it too!
You’ve done it again! A spectacular card made with a bundle that I liked but didn’t know if I’d use much. And the DSP! So gorgeous, especially in the way you’ve used it. Thanks, Ann!
That is amazing! What an imagination! So beautiful and creative
That is amazing! What an imagination!
