Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's clean and simple week. For my card I used a new stencil set from Waffle Flower that is part of their Postal Collage collection called Wildbirds. Here's a sneak peek: And here's our challenge badge: I used the color block stencil to add the sunset skies to each of the squares and then stamped the wildbird silhouettes into each of the squares.
