Apologies for the late post, I’ve been fighting with my computer again. The Home IT desk thinks it might be the motherboard, so I’d better get myself set up on one of the other (numerous) computers! I’ve been playing with Happy Home again – I’m sad it’s retiring. Right now, the Happy Home set and the matching framelits come in a bundle. The framelits aren’t retiring but there’s nothing in the new catalogue that they match with – I’m guessing that something to match is coming out at Christmas or next year,  but I’m not giving up this stamp set!

I decided that I’d join another two of the scenes together for the Paper Players challenge today and when I went looking for my watercolour paper, I found the shimmery white paper first. So I’m using that instead – I usually forget that I have it.

Here’s the banner which inspired my card:

I stamped the image in wisteria wonder which gives it a lovely soft look and then used my aquapainter to put a wash of colour for the ground in pear pizzazz. I purposely made it not a uniform green to avoid the impression that it was completely flat. Then I used my pink pirouette stampin’ write marker to colour in the shirt, added a little more wisteria wonder to the shorts and coloured the kite and flower in so saffron. The greeting, also from Happy Home, is stamped in pear pizzazz. I contemplated adding an extra mat to the card but it didn’t fit with the hand drawn look of the card, so I just glued the shimmery white paper onto a so saffron card base.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
