Welcome to Sunday and the newest Paper Players (#707) challenge.  This week, Ann has chosen CAS (clean and simple) as our style with a Nature theme.

Additional inspiration for design elements were influenced by both Festive Friday (#168) and Tic Tac Toe (#256) to dress up my card a little bit.

Here is the result:

NESTS OF WINTER DSP – PENCILED PEAR – PP707 – FF0168 – TTTC256

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
  • Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Crumb Cake cardstock dry-embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder for the Nature theme.
  • Focal Image – Animals: Bird patterned piece of paper from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper pack die-cut with Postage Stamp dies from the Perennial Postage Dies set.  Sizes: (1⅜” x 1⅜”); (1⅛” x 1⅞”); and (1⅞” x 1⅞”).
    • The “Stamp” edges were antiqued with Crumb Cake ink applied with a Sponge Dauber.
  • Sentiment Stamp: Basic Beige cardstock scrap.
    • The sentiment, thanks FOR being YOU, from the Penciled Pear stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, die-cut with the (1⅞” x 1⅛”) Postage Stamp die and sponged with Cherry Cobbler ink using another Sponge Dauber.

All elements were adhered to the card base in a clean and simple style.  Some Jute Twine and a few retired 2023/2025 In-Color Enamel Dots in Copper Clay and Pebbled Path were added to dress up the Vintage Styling.

Birds are one a Nature’s loveliest creations.

  7. Beautiful, Jolanda! Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler coordinate perfectly with the birds. This is such amazing designer paper. I love the vintage/country vibe. It’s a card that gives a person the “warm fuzzies”!
