It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! Today will be even more exciting as we welcome three new Guest Designers to the line-up! You really must stop by The Paper Players site to see what Cindy, Lauri and Sandra have created for you! As for me, I played with several of the items that I pre-ordered from the Stampin’ Up! 2011 – 2012 Idea Book and Catalog in creating this Thank You card for the Kind Thanks Theme Challenge. I hope you enjoy it!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
Watercolor delight! The NEW Cherish Friendship set is perfect for showcasing your water coloring skills. I used the Blender Pen and Ink method, along with a few Stampin’ Write Markers for definition. Colors selected include: Basic Gray (chair), Crumb Cake (basket), Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, More Mustard, Soft Suede, Rose Red (flowers), Sahara Sand (shadowing). For a special touch, a White Signo Gel Pen was used to add highlights.
Flower power! A Scalloped Circle Punch Flower, made with First Edition Designer Series Paper, nestles neatly inside a Melon Mambo laser-cut Doily, snipped from the NEW Flirtatious Designer Series Paper. The Doily was then sponged with Crumb Cake ink and kissed with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. A Baja Breeze Scallop Trim Border Circle, made with the NEW Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die, provides the perfect background accent!
I had so much fun playing with the new products…and I have more new goodies just calling my name! What do you think of today’s card? Won’t you leave me a comment and let me know? Was there a new product previewed here that you liked? Of course, if you have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
