Hey y'all, happy Wednesday! The hubs is back at work today and while we did enjoy checking out antique stores yesterday on a mini-road trip, I'm looking forward to having the house to myself when Ryan goes to school so I can spend some time in my craft room today ; ) I managed to make this card on Sunday in between other activities:
Check out the Paper Players challenge:
I chose Blueberry Bunches for my stamp set just because it was easy to find on my current stamps shelf, though I could easily do this challenge with a myriad of other fruit because I have quite a few fruity stamp sets on the shelves of retirement. I paired this challenge with the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
To make it more CAS but keep the integrity of the sketch, I made a mask and sponged a square on my card base to cut down on the number of layers. Then I die cut a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist DSP and layered my fussy cut blueberry bunch on top, et voilà! One cute card that I'm sure will be going out in the mail pretty soon. I have no fewer than 8 cards on my craft table right now that I'm going to write in and mail out today : )
That's it for me today unless I crank out a few more fruity cards after Ryan goes to school. Have a great day, peeps!
