Paper Players 264 and JAI 281

The Paper Players sketch has been calling to me all week, yet I've only just got myself organised for it. Last week I was on a very clean and simple tangent, but that approach wasn't really going to fly with Claire's lovely sketch.


Seeking some more inspiration, I went to Just Add Ink, where the challenge was to add your three favourite colours. Well, that's a bit like asking me my favourite book...  a question with an ever-changing answer and depending on which genre you're thinking about! So I settled on my current favourite combination from this year's in-colours: Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder and Tip-top Taupe.

And the real story is that I shouldn't have been card-making at all. I have an empty suitcase and plane tickets to Australia. That case won't pack itself...




Ingredients
Card: Whisper White, Mint Macaron
Stamps: SU Butterfly Basics, Kind Eclectic, Hardwood; Hero Arts Thank You
Inks: Tip-Top Taupe, Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder
Other: Martha Stewart Lace border punch,  SU Elegant Butterfly punch, SU Beautifully Baroque embossing folder, brad base and candy dot, linen twine, Tip-top Taupe ribbon, dimensionals, sponges.

    Lovely Jan - I think your lace boarder and lace ribbon go well together. Chantell JAI

    I'm thinking that with plane tickets you might be in Australia right now??? You lucky thing. Hope your having a wonderful time!! My favourite colour combo right now is mint and gold but like you said, that will probably change tomorrow.... I love the ones you chose, they go together perfectly and love all the different layers and elements to your card. Have a safe journey!
