TWO special events today: the Paper Players are celebrating their 700th challenge, and one of their design team members is celebrating her birthday... how do I help but to play along??
LeAnne's the birthday girl and her Sketch is such a fun one...
A one-layer stencil and a whole lot of inks went into the making of this card...
... but I think they add lots of depth to those otherwise flat flowers!
Once again, I added a textile look to my panel using SU Tasteful Textile EF.
BONUS since I had my stencils out, this one will also be shared with my friends at Just us Girls! Thanks, Elizabeth - who is also a DT at PP!
That's it for me - off to make Sunday dinner! Happy birthday, LeAnne!
