The Paper Players #779

Ann was in charge of setting up a Tic Tac Toe board for The Paper Players this week which happens when there are five Sundays in a month.  

There are so many great options to choose from. I went on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right - circle, flowers, sentiment.

I started with Cosmos Bunch from PFS thinking I would do an eclipse card.  I changed my mind and cut a circle from a Masking Magic A2 panel.  The flowers in the center of the circle were stenciled with Altenew inks and then Arctic ink was brushed around the edges.  The panel was trimmed to add a border of green and then the BetterPress sentiment added.  I like the softness you get with the masking as opposed to cutting a circle from the center and popping it up.

Freshly Made Sketches #729

When there is a sketch as basic as the one at Freshly Made Sketches, it can be difficult to make a decision on which way to go with your card. I decided to go simple.

I don't know why the vellum looks wrinkly and the sentiment looks crooked because they aren't in real life. 😡  My flower is Lilacs from The Greetery.  I made panels of purple and green using Distress Spray Stains.  I don't use them often enough and thought it was time to give them a workout.  The background is the same Waffle Flower Rhombus cover plate that I used yesterday, minus the die cut overlay.

Color Hues #129 and NBUS #84

My friend Marcia picked the colors for the Color Hues challenge this time.  Purple and Marigold.  So how about some dahlias? 

The dies are Into the Blooms: Dahlia from PTI cut in C9 Fig and Sunflower.  The background is Waffle Flower's Rhombus Texture Die and Rhombus Die Panel.  The black fern was in the package and it worked so added it and an embossed sentiment from The Ton.  The background dies are new so I'm also sending my card to Darnell's NBUS.

Just Us GIrls #816 - Stencil Week

Lisa is the host for Stencil Week at Just Us Girls and this time it's Anything Goes.

After I bought the Magnolia Dreams embossing folder from Altenew, I found out there was a stencil that went with it so that came home to me and I used it on today's card.

I used Altenew inks in Rose Quartz, Pinkalicous, Sagestone, Olive Grove, Vanilla Cream and Butternut.  A simple sentiment from their One-Go Birthday was all I needed to finish it off.

What stencil will you use to make a card?  I know you have a few so I hope you'll pull one out and join our guest Milla and the rest of the Design Team in making a card for the challenge.
