Happy Paper Players Sunday, friends! So glad you could join me today. This week, LeAnne is our hostess and she has a long and lean sketch for us, take a look:
Now, you can interpret the shapes and layers of the sketch any way you want to just as long as the basics are there. For my card, I was inspired by Arielle's fabulous color combination over at Colour Q: Dusty Durango [retired], Lucky Limeade, Baja Breeze, Basic Gray and Whisper White.
Love these colors together and I even found a little bit of Dusty Durango in my stash!
You can see that I had a loose interpretation of LeAnne's sketch but the basic elements are there--I hope LeAnne doesn't mind! My card base is a 3x6 piece of textured Basic Gray cardstock and the three colored panels were glued together with sticky strip and stamped all as one in Versamark ink and the Woodgrain background stamp. Stamping them all together allows the background stamp to flow uninterrupted over all three panels. The pretty butterflies were made with the Beautiful Wings embosslit and a few rhinestones. And here's a little peek at the inside:
I hope I've inspired you to play along with LeAnne's sketch! Be sure to check out the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team:
The Paper Players challenge will close on Friday, March 2nd at Noon (PST)...I hope you will join us!

I love the balance in this card Nance. It is so lovely with the woodgrain background, all lined up perfectly throughout the three colours. The butterflies are the perfect accent.

Love your butterflies. Great card.
The woodgrain background really allows those beautiful butterflies to take center stage! And of course, that bit of bling doesn't hurt either!
Absolutely fabulous, Nance! I love your take on the sketch! And the inside is adorable!
Beautifully done, my friend! The white butterflies on the color blocks are unexpected and wonderful! I especially love the trio of tiny tags you added to the bottom. So glad you could join us this week at the ColourQ! Hope you're doing well!
This is très magnifique, my friend! WOW! I always chuckle when I come across the name Dusty Durango. It always reminds me of an actor in an old western film for some reason. Haha! You absolutely rocked this color combo, Nance! Absolutely fabulous, as always! Hope your weekend was fun. Big hugs sent your way! :)
Nance, I LOVE this card! Great interpretation of that fun sketch, and the embossed white butterflies against the blocks of color are so pretty! Thank you so much for joining us at ColourQ this week! :)
Nance great color scheme and the butterflies are so cute with the touch of bling. The inside ones must be the kidies.... out playing around! Too cute. hugs
Love this and how you stamped the woodgrain image on the panel. Such a perfect background for the butterflies.
