It's so nice to be able to play with The Paper Players again. Their challenge this week is the Class of 2017 Congratulations. Since school is all out here in my corner of the world, I opted for a more generic congratulations that would work for a graduate but also for any situation where congratulations were due! I used the spectacular Designer Series Paper called A Whole Lot of Lovely, which really doesn't need much added to it to create a beautiful greeting card and a new Host stamp set I've just acquired called Background Bits, as well as a die cut sentiment from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. Here's the challenge banner:
And here's my card:
- I love the richness of the design of this Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper. It looks especially amazing on a dark card base - here, I used Basic Black with accents of Gold Foil Sheets.
- On the Stitched Shapes Oval I embossed a couple of images from a new Host set called Background Bits, in Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. I love the background script. It's been so long since we've had some. To get this set, though, you must be a host. You can host your own party or be a part of my Stamp Club so that on your month, you will be able to order this set for your Stampin' Rewards.
- The sentiment is from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, using Gold Foil Sheets and popping it up on Mini Stampin' Dimensionals cut in half.

You are so right, Heather - that paper is opulent all on it's own but it does work so well with gold and black. I'd not noticed the script in Background Bits before and it's a great addition to the stamping toolbox. Such patience to cut the mini-dimensionals in half - but to good effect. Lovely card. Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
ReplyDeleteThis card is stunning and the gold foil really brings out the richness of the DSP. Your layout compliments the scripted oval and popped up sentiment -- love it! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players this week!
