Tropical Escape Congratulations - Paper Players #420

This week at the Paper Players Blog, the challenge is a sketch challenge.  There's nothing I love better than a sketch challenge.

I learned something new about importing pictures from my phone to my computer using an app and my Wi Fi connection.  Usually I struggle with cords or if I can't find the cord then I download the pictures into my e-mail and then download into a file etc etc.  It's quite a process.  Now, with this free app I scan the picture directly into my computer through my Wi Fi.  Marvelous!!  I feel quite proud of myself. And the time I have saved!

Back to my card.  Below is a picture of the card I made for the Paper Players sketch challenge #420



On a Granny Apple card stock card base I adhere a Whisper White layer embossed with the tufted embossing folder.

On this embossed layer I adhere two strips of Tropical Escape DSP both matted with Granny Apple card stock.  The first piece if 1 1/4" by 4", and the second 1 1/2 by 4".  In the center is a 1 1/2" square upon which is a Tropical leaf and flower embellishment.

The large tropical leaves were fussy cut from the DSP, as were the 3 pink flowers. After sponging the edges of the leaves with Mossy Meadow ink and the flowers with Petal Pink ink I shaped them and adhered them to the 1 1/2" square using a hot glue gun.  Some Clear Wink of Stella was applied to the leaves, and pink rhinestones were placed in the center of the flowers.


The sentiment, from "Hand Delivered" was punched with the Classic Label punch and adhered below the embellishment.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Hand Delivered
Inks:  Black Memento, Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink
Papers:  Granny Apple Green, Tropical Escape DSP
Accessories:  Pink rhinestones, hot glue gun, Clear Wink of Stella

Your flowers are so vivid and lifelike! I wondered how you'd done them and the work you did sponging and shaping the fussy cut flowers has just made them look so real. Fabulous! Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
