The Paper Players 372 - Design Team Card

Last week, I had so many favourites in The Paper Players gallery that it was hard to choose only one. Fortunately, the rest of the team picked quite a few of my others, so I was happy! This week, the amazing Joanne - aka The Crafty Owl - has a sketch for you. I couldn't wait to get started on it and I hope you'll be just as keen to play.


I've opted for a 90 degree turn, so the orientation is portrait rather than landscape.


The Delicate Ornaments framelit has been used to frame a starry forest scene. One tree is gold embossed and the stars have been embossed in silver to echo the colours in the Cheers to the Year DSP.  There are two ornaments, one in plain Island Indigo tucked in behind to create a shadow effect.


We'd love to have you join us in this sketch challenge. If you do, there's just a couple of things to remember.
  1. Create a NEW paper-craft project specifically for this challenge.
  2. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
  3. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
  4. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, total. Entries linked to more than 4 challenges, including ours, will be deleted without notification.
  5. Have fun!

  1. Oh, Jan....this is lovely. So pretty and serene. Adore your idea of the extra die-cut for a shadow effect. Such a nice pop of color. Great details too like the little star charm on your ornament. Clever take on the sketch too and proves how versatile it is! Gorgeous card, my friend!

Jan this is so gorgeous - from the beautifully stamped bauble (it reminds me of those beautiful handpainted china ones that you an buy) to the silver and gold elements as accents and my favourite embossing folder of all time!

  6. Jan, this is a beautiful Christmas card! How ingenious to put a scene inside the die cut, and to continue the falling snowflakes across the top with the band of paper. It's lovely! Pinned! hugs, de

  7. Jan I'm amazed how you've managed to squeeze an entire scene into your ornament, and it is so beautiful! You've shown that Lovely as a Tree is an absolutely timeless set, too!
