Paper Players 237

I don't play at Paper Players as often as I'd like but I just had to make time for Leanne's fabulous sketch this week.

I've been feeling crook today, so decided to go for a bright get well card. In my head, this card was always going to use Tangelo Twist even though the bright oranges are not usually my first choice of colour. Hello Honey seemed a natural companion for Tangelo Twist and both are sponged onto the background of the leaves.



The embossing folder is one I bought cheap in a bargain bin at The Warehouse and it was just perfect for this card. What's really great about it is the size: it easily fits A5. It's a shame more embossing folders aren't just a couple of centimetres bigger each way.

Update: Delighted to have this card picked as A Cut Above at Paper Players.
