Paper Players Challenge #2 -- APP02

I am camping with the boys again. I think I am a glutton for punishment -- I really don't like camping. I keep telling myself that I am a good mommy to do this for my boys. I hope they appreciate it some day :o).

I set this post up on Friday before we left, so I hope it comes out OK. I set the links to go to the other "Player's" home page. I will fix them so they go to the actual card when we return home Sunday afternoon.

It's Sunday so that means that it's time again for the Paper Players Challenge. The second week of every month will be our Color Challenge.

Our Colors this week are Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue/Pacific Point, Old Olive, and Whisper White. Isn't this is great picture to grab some inspiration from? This picture was taken by one of Lesley friends.

Brandon (my 10yo) is graduating from 5 th grade on Monday. Yahoo!! He helped me design this card because he needs several Thank you cards. He loves a card that I created back in January using the Upsy Daisy stamp set, so he wanted to create a similar card. We colored the stamp in with markers, spritzed it with water, and then stamped it on the card stock. It really looks like a watercolor painting when you use this technique. My "Designer Paper" is created with the vine stamp from Vintage Vogue and the Texture Embossing Folder -- pretty isn't it?

The other Paper Players have also created beautiful cards for the challenge. Make sure you go visit and leave some love.
