Hey, hey..it's Sunday!! That means it's time for another fab challenge over at the Paper Players! This week, LeAnne is our hostess and she has created an awesome sketch to play along with.
Since it is the end of May and over 90 degrees here in South Texas...I went with a Christmas card for this challenge. Seems perfectly logical, right? Haha! Actually, I just REALLY wanted to use some of my new stampin' goodies that arrived at my doorstep not too long ago. The Chock Full of Cheer stamp set featured here, is a "sneak peek from the upcoming SU! catty"...which makes it's debut June 1st!!
I punched the ornament from the 1- 3-4" Circle punch and then accented the middle of the ornament by adding the complimentary color with the 3/4" circle punch. I cut out the heat-embossed "ornament hanger" for a little added detail. The color combo is Chery Cobbler, Very Vanilla and the brand-new, Gumball Green! I am SO loving this new color!
Here is the inside of the card, with a sentiment from the Occasional Quotes set (ret.) Never too early to get started on those holiday cards, I say:
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I sure hope you will play along with this fun sketch challenge over at the Paper Players. The rest of the Design Team have created some wonderful projects. Please stop by and say hello to them. The challenge is open until 12:00 Noon (PST) on Friday, June 1st.
