I have made another card, after struggling with it most afternoon... I have had a tough time of card making recently, I know I am overthinking it, but I am bored with all my stamps and inks, and everything in my craft room is annoying me a bit... so, to produce anything that I'm slightly happy with to post here is a milestone!
The funny thing about this card... I don't even know any soon to be 4 year old girls.... I started out stamping the owl, giraffe (I <3 Giraffes) and turtle from Fox and Friends in Regal Rose, Rose Red and Pretty in Pink. I then mounted it on a slightly bigger piece of Rose Red. I stamped the Regal Red card with the number strip from Look Who's Turning in VersaMark and clear embossed it. I set that aside, remembered I had Pretty in Pink Grosgrain ribbon and a button, so pulled them out, wrapped it around the Rose Red and attached a tag from Tiny Tags, the four is from the 4 You sentiment, but I have only coloured the number in using my Stampin' Write Markers. I attached it using some Red and White Bakers twine, and stamped the Look Who's Turning sentiment in Black Staz On.
I am entering this into the Paper Players colour challenge, which I have been fiddling around with all evening....
Thanks for dropping in!
Oh how cute, Jess! I love your randomly stamped background. The tiny tag with the "4" is so clever! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players this week!

So, so, cute! Eventually you'll know SOMEONE who is turning 4!!! LOL! Thanks for playing with us this week!
ReplyDeleteJess, I got a chuckle out of you making this card for nobody in particular. I do that, too. I made a retirement card a few weeks ago and don't know anyone lucky enough to retire yet. Lol! This is such a sweet card! I love the little tag accent and the twine tied in the button Too cute! Thanks so much for joining us at the Paper Players this week! :)
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is this? I love how you've used the images to make your own designed paper! Great job. Thanks for playing along at The Paper Players this week.
ReplyDeleteI get bored with my stamps too! It is always nice to break in new rubbah, gets me inspired. But I think you did a great job with the challenge Jess and have created an adorable card...add it to the stash!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at the Paper Players.

Jess, I know exactly how you feel about getting bored. When that happens I find that doing a couple of challenges helps, even CASEing something - anything to just get me stamping again!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you did join us, this card is delightful. It's girly and fun without being overly feminine - which is a wondrous feat considering the color scheme! I think you did a terrific job.
So glad you joined the Paper Players this week.
