It’s Sunday, and that means it’s time for another Guest Designer Inspiration Card for The Paper Players Challenge.
This week’s theme challenge is “The Great Outdoors” for PP252.
When I think of outdoors, I think of trees. And when I think of trees, I adore how different they look in all four seasons (at least where we live here in Mars).
So I heat embossed an “empty” tree from the StampinUp Sheltering Tree Stamp Set with Early Espresso (Dark Brown) embossing powder onto four pieces of watercolor paper.
I then broke out the Brusho Crystal Colours again and sprinkled and spritzed different colors onto each tree to represent, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
I backed each tree with a piece of Early Espresso card stock and then adhered to Very Vanilla for the card base.
I stamped some fun sentiments from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler to make them into basic notecards.
Doesn’t it make a fun set?
Hope you are enjoying whatever season you are in!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
