Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week. I love this sketch so much that I actually made 4 cards with it. In the end I decided to showcase one not made with a white card base. I know! Me not using a white card base - it's almost unheard of. It was a great excuse to ink up a set I bought specifically for the cards I made for SendaSmile4kids called Furry and Bright from My Favorite Things (MFT). I paired the images from the stamp set...

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week! For my card, I die-cut and inked up the new Jumbo Curiosity Moth die and I loved it! For my pop of color I went with a couple of shades of red. I went looking on google for some interesting colored moths and came across this guy: Photo credit Now, I couldn't get all of those gorgeous colors included, but I took the reds and went with that. I added a piece of patterned paper I got as part of... Read more →
