Hello Friend

 


4 challenges inspired today's card...

The Paper Players // #PP809 ...A sketch challenge!!  Their sketch was the starting point for today's card.  It worked perfectly for combining these 4 challenges.

Little Red Wagon // #LRW881 ...A theme challenge!!  The current theme was inspired by Billy Joel's song TELL HER ABOUT IT!!  They want to see projects with envelopes, post-cards, handwritten letters, emails, phones, typewriters, etc. Basically, any form of communication works!  I used a stamp of a typewriter from Unity Stamps.

Color Hues // #TCH143 ...A color challenge with just two colors!!  For this current challenge the duo of colors...ORANGE (designer paper) & BLACK (rhinestones, ink & ribbon)!  

Make My Monday // #MMM289 ...A theme challenge!!  USE THE COLOUR ORANGE is the theme for this current challenge!!  I pulled off an orange card without it being another Halloween card.

Never Before Used // #NBUS91 ...The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used" ...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using a 12x12 piece of designer paper that I have been hoarding in my stash.  This piece from Recollections // I wanna ride // Orangade has been untouched for over 15 years!!  Today I made the first cuts into it!!  I also inked up the Unity sentiment from this typewriter set for the very first time today.  Two NEVER BEEN USED items on today's card.

  4. Cute card, DJ! I like how you used the colors to make a card that isn't Halloween and that typewriter image is so cute. Congrats on finally cutting into the paper too--I also have a slight paper hoarding problem so I have been working this year to just use the paper, ha! Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players!

  5. What a perfect way to combine challenges! The image works so well with the sketch. It's refreshing to see orange used in a card that is not fall or Halloween! Love it! Thank you for playing with The Paper Players!

  6. Such a cute card, Deb! The typewriter is a cute one and a great way to use the CH colors for a non-Halloween card. Thanks so much for joining in at both the Paper Players and Color Hues!
