The Paper Players #757

While I had my stencils out for JUGS, I made another stenciled card using Altenew's Classic Pine A&B and [as I was taught by my friends in the Group of Cardmakers] I couldn't let that residual ink go to waste but instead did a monoprint!  ALL THAT to say I used that very monoprint as a background for my card for The Paper Players #757!  It's sketch time and Stef has a great one for us...



What might look like mud to some pleases my eye very much!
Would it help to see the stenciled card?  Maybe...


So much pretty ink to take advantage of with just
a fine spritz of water flipped over and pressed onto a panel of paper!


I wonder if Lisa and the JUGS team would mind second helpings?


Okay, I'd better get this little Chickadee over to The Paper Players before
their door closes!  Have a great day!

Penny Black: Plaited Wreath. Spellbinders: Hemlock Cones and Chickadee
The Stamp Market: 'Tis the Season.

I'm a fan of that wonderful background, and I love that chickadee! It's a beautiful holiday card! I don't have many birds in my collection. You may have sent me shopping.

Love both cards Michele, but especially the first one with your lovely (and artsy!) background and that sweet little birdie! Love the "wreath" too! Sweet, sweet cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Your stenciled pine cones are gorgeous, but WOW to the "monoprint" that pleases MY eye very much too! Love them both!
