Pampered Pets for Paper Players #495

Happy Sunday.

It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week:

This felt like a masculine color scheme and I ended up making two different cards using these colors.  In the end I decided to go with the Pampered Pets version for the challenge, but also have the one made using Game On for you.  SO, it's a twofer night :-)

Firstly, here's my Pampered Pets version.  I have to tell you I am in love with the little trinkets that come with this suite.  I can't seem to make a card with this set and not use them :-)

I don't have tranquil tide in my stash, so used the nearest color that I could find.  I used grey markers to color both the dog and cat and put them onto a grey base.

Here's my Game On version.  I used the Dazzling Diamonds embossing folder to add interest to the white layer and Tasteful Textiles for the grey layer.  I then fussy cut and popped up the cards.

As always, the design team have some wonderful inspiration for you:

On a personal note:

I have no idea where this week went!  Well, I think I do.  My company recently laid off between 10 and 20 thousand co-workers two weeks ago, and, of course, the work just gets redistributed.  Add the extra workload to the emotional impact of the lay-off  and I think that's kind of where the week went.

So, I am going to escape to my craft room today and also go and sit in our garden and enjoy this beautiful day.  We have low humidity and highs in the mid-70s.  Perfect weather.  If the inspiration strikes, then I will have some cards to share with you during the week!  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.  Have a beautiful Sunday.

Hugs

Jaydee

I love both of your cards, Jaydee! But I have to agree that the pets steal the show. Love those little trinkets, too. I completely forgot I had them for my card. Lol! Is that a sign that's it's time to clean the craft room? I think so! You've also convinced me to buy that game night stamp set. So many new stamps, so little time. Haha!

Two fabulous cards Jaydee - you totally persuaded me to add the Pampered Pets bundle to my order this week - you are totally rocking this set and this is another great example! Those little charms are adorable too!
