The Paper Players PP717 - A Sketch Challenge from Stef


Join us! It is SKETCH week at The Paper Players.  Stef is challenging us to use the sketch above in our cards.   More Christmas cards are needed in my stash!  I decided to use up another DSP pad, Paper Rose Silver Bells.  I flipped the sketch on its side to better use my sentiment die.  The silver glitter accents are actually die cut from luncheon placemats. The placemats were cheap, easy to die cut, with no loose glitter.  Check the placements out on AMZ if you need some for holidays... you could get a second use out of them. The center panel is foam mounted as is the sentiment.

My 2024 New Year resolution is to make at least one multiple of every challenge entry is coming to an end! All of today's cards are headed for my stash.


Check out our fabulous guest designers as well as the rest of the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Elizabeth, I just love the DSP you used. My grand daughter just loves bows. The silver from that placemat is genius! Thank you for this wonderful tip. The big, bold, shiny sentiment is perfect! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Wow...glitter placemats, who knew? They certainly pack a punch on your cards....love them! The subtle pattern is a great background for those big sentiments!

Your stash of glorious bold die cut sentiments continues to enthrall and amaze me! This one's a beauty - and cut out of placements - wow! I think that silver and white theme is so stylish too. :-)

Elizabeth, you've created a silver beauty with this card! I adore the background, the big sentiment and the monochromatic look. And clever you to upscale the silver glitter placements and use them for the background element. Love this! I hope you have the most wonderful Thanksgiving and visit with your Mom!

It's unusual to see you use DSP Elizabeth and what a lovely layered beauty you created! The silver and white is so elegant and that foiled silver sentiment centrepiece is fabulous! A gorgeous card.

Silver packs such a punch. Your card has oodles of it, Elizabeth! I love how festive and sparkly it is, yet so clean. Happy Holidays. Cheers, Jolanda
