Happy Wednesday! We're having a fun relaxing week for spring break, Aidan's going to Tae Kwon Do camp (which he loves) while we're at work and we're enjoying having our evenings free before all the craziness of baseball, cub scouts, etc. starts up again this spring. Today I'm dropping by to share my card for this weeks Paper Players challenge. This is a very versatile sketch and can be used for so many things, I decided to use to to show off several of the papers of the Parker's Print's Designer Series Paper package. I took a class this past summer at our annual convention about mixing patterns and while I don't do it very often it was fun to work with the different patterns. Other than the DSP I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder and the Big Shot to emboss the Sahara Sand layer, Scallop Trim Border Punch along the right edge, Naturals Buttons with Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, and the greeting is from the Loving Thoughts stamp set.
This was the sketch layout we were given to work with. I had so much fun playing with all the different textures and elements and really like how they work together. The Parker's Print's DSP is in the Spring catalog so you'll definitely want to make sure to add this to your crafting supplies since these patterns on so on trend right now and make it easy to make more masculine cards which we all seem to struggle with at times.
Enjoy and have a great rest of your week!

DeleteWhat a wonderful combination of these patterns here, Diana. I would have thought it impossible, but you have really done it here. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian, it was fun to focus on the DSP patterns, will definitely have to try this with some of our others paper.
DeleteThis is SO fun, Diana! I love the mix of colors and patterns. This is one of my favorite paper packs from the Spring catty. Thank you so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! :)
