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. As I wanted a more clean and simple card, I die-cut the squares and then cut them into individual stamps. I decided to not use white as the backgroud (gasp!) but to go with blue as I wanted to keep a moody feel to my card. I heat set the sentiment and adhered each of the stamps to the card base.
Here's my full card:
I hope you will join us and play along with Joanne's challenge. We would love to see what YOU create. As always the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:
On a personal note:
Well, mmmmmm… my post is late because I forgot it was Sunday! Lou and I are currently touring British Columbia with some close family members and I honestly lost track of the days. It was only when we were commenting about places being really busy and the reason was probably that it was Sunday, that I realized it was in fact Sunday – and I hadn't written and published my blog!
I will be back later in the week with a card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

Your card is beautiful, Jaydee! The blue background adds drama and truly enhances the gorgeous skies. Enjoy your time in BC!
Jaydee, that sounds like an amazing trip! ENJOY every moment! Time certainly flies by–I get it!
I absolutely LOVE these beautiful silhouettes and the amazing night skies. So unique and eye catching! What a fabulous idea for this theme!
Love your birds, especially silhouetted against the pretty sunset backgrounds!
I love BC and I hope you’re having a wonderful trip – so much to explore there! I love your design with this set, Jaydee. It’s a great way to utilize the images outside the collage set up. The skies look magnificent; you’ve definitely created that “moody” feel to your card.
Wow, this card is gorgeous! I’ve been away from my computer for several months so I have a lot of your posts to catch up on. As much as I love all your florals, this is one of my favorite cards you’ve done. Hope you had a great time in BC.
So that is where you were last week! Love those silhouetted birds Jaydee – so atmospheric. The postage outlines make a great frame for your collection of images too. Lovely!
