The Paper Players PP417: Claire's Theme Challenge

 

I'm linking this card to the Paper Players Theme Challenge below. 

This past Saturday evening I was working on cards at the crop I was at for the weekend. I was so happy when I finished this one. I was writing down all my products so that I could blog it when I got home and could get a decent photo. That's when I realized I had placed my image and sentiment in the wrong spot. Everything was pretty well adhered so I couldn't move anything. I set the card aside and then came across the Paper Players challenge. My card worked perfectly for this challenge!

 

I used distress oxide ink in walnut stain for my project. This is actually the second print using the Tim Holtz woodgrain layering stencil. When I pulled the stencil off the first print I spritzed the stencil with water and then laid my mixed media cardstock on top of the stencil to get the ink off. 

The leaves are some from my stash that I made with distress oxide inks using the stamp and die set from Reverse Confetti. I made quite a few to use in various projects. 

I diecut my circle using a Spellbinders die and stamped the image using Gina K Designs Autumn Wreath Builder stamp set. I love how this card turned out.

PP225: Black Tie Theme Challenge

I've been creating cards for challenges today. The card I'm sharing is for The Paper Players Black Tie Theme Challenge #225. You are to create something that has sparkle, shine and/or texture. My instinct was to use some black. I held myself back since I normally use so much black in my cards.  I decided to do red sparkle since that seems to be what I've been doing a lot of with my Christmas cards this year. 

For my card base I used PaperTrey Ink cardstock in New Leaf. The patterned paper is from a paper pad called Timeless Holiday by Craft Smith which I matted with PTI's Pure Poppy. I used a die from Taylored Expressions called Jingle All The Way to diecut my sentiment. I adhered it to PTI's Vintage Cream cardstock. The glitter paper is from Recollections called Christmas Noel. The gemstones are from Hero Arts. 

Over the next few days I'll share other cards I've made for various challenges.
