Pals Paper Arts Challenge - PPA151

Oh my goodness - I seem to have caught the Sketch Challenge bug.

Not only am I really enjoying the challenges, my card making is being pushed outside my comfort zone. I am trying combinations I would never have tried before. Mainly because I am trying not to be too predictable with my design.

This card is my entry for the Pals Paper Arts challenge.

 
 
I started with a Very Vanilla base and added a broad strip of Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper that had been joined to a strip of Pool Party, embossed using one of the Delicate Designs embossing folders. Tied around the mat is a length of Island Indigo Bakers Twine, threaded with a Tiny Tags punched shape.

I used the smallest Labels Collection Framelit to cut a piece of Summer Starfruit card that I embellished with a Brushed Bronze Designer button, tied with a piece of Island Indigo ribbon from the Sale-a-bration Button and Brad set.

I am pleased with the finished article and getting more adventurous each day!

    Very pretty, Paula! I love how you used designer paper on one half, and embossed the other. The tiny tag attached to the Baker's Twine is a cute touch! Thanks for playing at Pals Paper Arts!

    Love your card, Paula! That Lucky Limeade pops out and makes a statement on the DSP and embossed card stock. The button topping it looks terrific with that Island Indigo ribbon too. Beautiful job! Thanks for joining us at the PPA!
