The Paper Players 392 - Design Team Card

Welcome to a new challenge at The Paper Players. This week, it's a theme challenge from Nance and she's chosen....


Tea party. You wouldn't think that would be a problem, would you? But somehow, I'd managed to never buy a tea or coffee themed stamp and I'd given away my only tea party DSP. Then, while browsing around Spotlight in an attempt to find something tea-partyish,  I found a piece of American Craft scrapbooking paper. It had, among many images, this lovely tea cup. My mind went into Stampin' Up overdrive and I began translating it into SU colours. This is where that train of thought ended up...


I turned to Floral Phrases. While the stamp is still current, the DSP and washi tape are now retired but naturally, I still have a stash of them. The image worked well, surrounded by SU colours and devices.


I used my Stampin' Blends to colour some rhinestones Night of Navy to add them in to this card. I'm always kind of amazed when the colour stays on!

Pop over and see what the rest of the team have done with Nance's theme challenge at The Paper Players

  10. Don't you love it when you can interpret things, SU style?! Might be a great name for a blog, dont'cha think? This card is beautiful. Such a great combination of layers with the embossing folder and the washi tape. All compliment the focal image beautifully. Great job, my friend!
