Welcome - Today's card is for the current Paper Players Challenge,
I'm also going to link to NBUS#28 Here is what I created for this challenge.
This card sort of evolved after I got started on it. I first picked out a piece of striped designer paper I've had in my stash for forever and have no clue where it came from. - I wanted something that wasn't patriotic. Next I decided on using some Star Dies that I purchased from JoAnn's several years ago. I've never used them before so this qualifies it to be entered into the NBUS challenge.
Next up I decided to use a Star embossing folder (Cuttlebug) that I've had for a long time as well.
I also used a new sentiment from SU - Through it Together stamp set.
I also sprayed on some Distress Mica Spray (Tarnished Brass - Tim Holtz) onto the white circle panel and the sentiment panel.
That's it for this card. - If you have questions about how it was made feel free to email me and ask.
Colors used: Early Espresso cs, Pacific Point, Cajun Craze, Whisper White cs, and a piece of old card stock that has speckles in it. Again I can't identify where it came from.
It evolved quite nicely :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful texture and design are so perfect with your sentiment, Ida! Perfect! Thank you for joining us at the Paper Players this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I LOVe that embossing folder...those stars are wonderful! I wonder if it is still available (probably not!)? You did a great job bringing all the elements together! Thanks for playing with our challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination of stars and stripes Ida! I love the addition of the embossed panel and the combination of the blue and red with the brown gives this card a unique masculine feel. Love it! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, love the homey colors on this -- terrific card, Ida
ReplyDeleteIda, your card came together beautifully! That paper is such a nice pairing with the stars. I bet that mica spray really pops in person, too. Awesome card! Thanks so much for joining us this week over at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great patriotic design! I love the combination of pattern and textured embossing, Ida! It's a great take on the challenge mood board. Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
