With Sympathy for Paper Players # 355

Hi Everyone.

It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a tic tac toe for us. As Laurie is dealing with a family emergency this week, Joanne is taking on the challenge for us.

 
I decided to go with top left to bottom right…..  die cut, enamel dots and circle.
 
I combined the die-cut and circle with the new Leafy Wreath Die from Altenew.  I die-cut the wreath and then used three different colors of green to color the wreat.  I mounted the wreath on top of a piece of woodgrain paper from Altenew.  I then used the no line stamping technique to create multiple flowers from the Amazing You set.  I used my Copic markers to color the flowers. 
 
I needed to add a little dimension on the flowers, so used my stylus to push the center of each flower int a soft pad.  That gives just a little dimension, but still allows me to adhere the flowers to the wreath.
 
I stamped a sentiment from the new Altenew set called Heartfelt Sentiments.  Note to self…next time use Archival ink on this paper – the Memento that I used tended to bleed just a little on the paper and I don't thnk that would have happened with the Archival ink.
 
Here's the outside of my card:
 
AmazingYou (1 of 1)

I used the Amazing You stamp to create the floral element on the inside – as well as a sentiment from the Altenew Beautiful Inside stamp set.  I don't know about you, but I often find it difficult to know what to say on the inside of cards.  This set is really useful for those of us who cannot quie find the rght words.

Here's the inside:

Beautiful Inside (1 of 1)

So, I had the die-cut and circle elements dealt with – but was left to add enamel dots.  I decided to do that on the inside of ther flowers.  Here's a closeup of the flowers:

I then chose a pink envelope and decorated the outside – and the back of the flap.  Here's a look at the front of the envelope:

Here's the flap:

I hope you will join our challenge this week.  We can't wait to see what you create using this tic tac toe.  If you are looking for some inspiration, you have to look no further than our amazing design team:

I'll be back with another card tomorrow.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs

Jaydee

  15. Thanks, Nance 🙂 The little flowers really did seem to be calling out for an enamel dot center – but I did have to adhere them with multi matte medium because a couple of them kept moving around!

  20. Thanks, Annie 🙂 I didn’t used to decorate the envelopes but now I try to do it before I pack up my stamps… try being the operative word. Sometimes I just forget to do it!
