Welcome to a new week at The Paper Players! Weren't the Clean and Simple Things With Wheels entries last week fabulous? I loved the way people were so inventive about using things with wheels but while keeping the CAS vibe. Lots of you proved that CAS doesn't equate with mundane!
I'm your hostess this week and it's my favourite kind of challenge: a sketch. I love a sketch challenge and even more, I love seeing the many and varied projects that come from the same starting point, so I'm going to especially love visiting the gallery this week.
Regular followers will know that I've been having a bit of a love affair with the Painterly Pears suite, so once again, I've reached for it.
For the background rectangle of the sketch, I've used a pair of die cut trellises. The card front is embossed with the Damask Designs embossing folder. Sweet, isn't it?
The rest of the card was easy too: rectangle of Painterly Pears DSP for the right hand rectangle block in the sketch, a sentiment stamped in Secret Sea and die cut using a banner from Stylish Shapes, and a few additional die cut flowers in Darling Duckling (with Iridescent Pearl centres).
How will you use this sketch? You can see what the rest of the team have done and link up your entry on The Paper Players page.
Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:
- Create a new paper-craft project specifically for this challenge.
- Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
- Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
- Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
- Have fun, and thank you for playing with us!
Don't forget to check out the great inspiration from the rest of the design team.

Jan... I don't know what it is about pears but I love them on cards. Yours are beautiful die cuts. Mixed that gorgeous embossing folder, white netting and small florals in the same color category... I don't this card could be any more perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful sketch, Jan, and I had a blast playing with it! Your pears look SO REALISTIC and the background stamping is divine! I received your birthday card too! Stunning! Thanks so much for thinking of me!
ReplyDeleteVery nice cas card congrats 😊💐 happy day
ReplyDeleteJan, this is CAS perfection! I love the embossing and the die cuts. These pears are so realistic, too! Just lovely! Thank you for such a fun sketch!
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for using the pear suite on multiple cards, the images are beautiful. The damask embossing and the trellis is great texture in white on white. Gorgeous card, Jan!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful Jan! You are truly showing these pears off to great advantage - I've loved every card you've made with this suite and this one is no exception. The addition of the woven textured layer and that beautiful embossed background make for another knockout card. Oh and I love the sketch too!
