Hey there friends! It's Sunday and time for a new theme challenge at The Paper Players! The lovely Joanne is hosting and has chosen this fun theme:
I'm also joining the challenge at Fusion, where the sketch is the basis of my card layout, and the Tic Tac Toe challenge, were I used the middle vertical row.
One stamp set I've had for a while from Paper Smooches is full of silly images so I decided to go with the adorable chick and accompanying sentiment. I will be sending this to one of my girlfriends who will get a kick out of it.
I tried to create a scene card around the chickie but the image was dwarfed by everything, and then I saw the Fusion sketch and thought it worked perfectly for this, other than switching the circle to the right rather than left on the horizontal piece. Rather than leave the background white, which is often my normal way, I went through all my 6x6 paper pads to find something that I liked. I realized I have a lot of pretty papers so I 'm going to work on including them more often on my cards. We'll see LOL! Anyway, I love this one with the tiny hearts in a number of bright colors.
One of the colors in the patterned paper is Bermuda Bay, so it was used for the horizontal piece. Both of those papers were die cut with a Wonky rectangle die, and then a scallop border die was used on the Bermuda Bay piece. To give more girth to the background piece, it was adhered to a slightly smaller piece of white, then the horizonal piece layered on and it was all mounted to the card base with fun foam after being wrapped with white twine. Our little birdie was colored with Copic markers, die cut and popped up on a white circle, which was added to the card along with the sentiment. A few clear sequins finished things off.
Thanks for visiting, I appreciate it so much! Be sure to use the link to the Player's challenge above to check out the rest of the DT and hopefully join us this week!
