Paper Players 269

Wow! I can’t believe that it’s Thursday already! I had a nice day at Scrap-A-Latte yesterday. I started the cutting for Renee’s Advent Class and got some of my own stuff done too. My friend Paul stopped by to see me and we got caught up. When I got home I had some stew that mum had made and then ran over to BestBuy to pick up the new Apple TV. From there I met up with Louis and we ran over to Century21 so he could return some things and then we stopped and got Starbucks before heading back to my house to play with the Apple TV. It’s pretty neat and easy to set up, you use your iPhone and it transfers all of the settings to the Apple TV. We were watching movie trailers, videos and YouTube in no time! This morning I have to work on finishing up my prep work for tomorrow night’s class at The Ink Pad. Speaking of The Ink Pad, Barbara wrote a nice little article up about me and I’m featured on their blog! Click HERE to take a look!

My card for today is for this week’s Paper Players challenge…

Paper Players #269

I haven’t done any watercoloring in a while so I did some on today’s card. The card base is Recollections Ivory 110lb Card Stock with the entire front covered in a piece of paper from the Midnight Magic 6×6 Paper Pad. The strip down the left is a piece of Canson 140lb Watercolor Paper that I embossed with the We R Memory Keepers Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I then gave it a good coat of Royal Langnickel Burnt Umber and then used a paper towel to take off some of the color. When it dried it had this really cool authentic wood look! I used some Tombo Extreme Adhesive to adhere it to the card. My panel is another piece of Watercolor Paper cut out with the Simon Says Stamp Giving Thanks Die and adhered to the card with Fun Foam and SNAIL. Next up are my leaves that are also cut from Watercolor Paper using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Leaves Lawn Cuts. I used Yellow Ochre, Vermillion, Crimson Red, Violet and Deep Green to paint on the colors layering the paint a few time before adhering them to the card with Glue Dots. A little sprinkling of Pretty Pink Posh Gold Sequins across the leaves completes the card! I love the way the leaves and “wood” look watercolored and that Giving Thanks Die is neat! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge! Thanks for your time today! Have an interesting Thursday! 🙂
