Hello Dahlia-The Paper Players #246

Hey there and Happy Hump Day!! The kids have have officially been off for a week! We decided to to start utilizing our family pool pass yesterday even if it was only 70 degrees!! I managed to find some crafty time in my stamp room this morning, it was very therapeutic!

I have been trying to go outside of comfort zone lately when it comes to my stamping and crafting... So this week I am going out on a limb and entering my very first The Paper Players Challenge... I really enjoy creating from a sketch! It truly is about ones artistic interpretation! Here is my sparkly take on this lovely sketch!



I started this beauty with a base of Bermuda Bay cardstock. The next layer is Basic Gray a color I haven't really used much,but thinking now I should! For the stripe in the sketch I cut a 3/4" strip in Bermuda Bay the width the Basic Gray layer. I then stamped "Hello There" from its name sake hostess set with Versamark then finished off using the Heat Tool with Stampin' Emboss White! I am so sad to see Regarding Dahlia on the retiring list!! I stamped the Dahlia from Regarding Dahlia with Bermuda Bay Ink then let it dry. Next I covered the stamped surface in Versamark,then sprinkled Heat & Stick and used the Heat Tool to get all nice and sticky! Once it was sticky I sprinkled our Dazzling Diamonds all over! I seriously had not done this since my very first work shop I attended as a customer! To finish this card I used some Pretty Pink Posh sequins in Sparkling Clear, Marshmallow and Charcoal!

Hope you all are having a great week!
Thank You for stopping by to take a look at my creation!
