The Paper Players 382 - Design Team Card

Sandie has a great new sketch challenge for us this week at The Paper Players. I love a sketch where there are so many possibilities about how it can be used.


I'm still playing with things from the Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration, even though it's been out since the start of January. This Lots of Lavender stamp set is a Sale-a-bration item, so not something that can be bought, only earned free with a qualifying order. Message me to find out how.

I started with a piece of Whisper White and stamped it using the bunch of lavender stamp and some of the leaves. Then I covered it with a layer of vellum. I like the soft, floaty, dreamy look a piece of vellum adds when used like this.


The centre image is the same bunch of lavender stamp but coloured using Stampin' Blends. To get variations in the flowers, I've used Pink Pirouette (light and dark) and Rich Razzleberry (light and dark). I've added in a double twine bow, although there is a perfectly lovely ribbon as part of the stamped image.

For the horizontal element of the sketch, I did something I rarely do. I used ribbon. This 5mm Old Olive ribbon is so lovely to work with as it has enough body to sit well but is soft enough to tie a sweet bow. It too is an item from the Occasions catalogue.


Just because there was no sentiment on the front, I'm showing you the inside as well this time.
