Grateful for Good Friends

This card is for The Paper Players Challenge #654, which is a sketch challenge this week.

The hostess, LeAnne, posted that this sketch was a great design to use up "some of those DPS scraps"; or in my case a concerning hoard. Since that has been a bit of a goal of mine, I hit the 6x6 paper bin and went for some pretty colors that will please a very good friend of mine.  

My only dislike of this card is the wax seal, I didn't have any lavender or purple and could only match the blues.  Since I was trying to draw out the beautiful lavender on this card, I should have just skipped the wax seal.  

The supplies are as follows:

Sentiment by SU! Peaceful Moments

Glitter Paper, Stitched Frame and Flower dies from Memory Box

Sequins: LoveLadies Mix by Catherine Pooler

Wax Seal, and white embossing powder by Altenew

The wax itself is from Amazon

The DSP is old and was not labeled

The dark blue card stock is Bazzil

Thank you for stopping by,

Carolyn

Celebrate!!

This CAS card is for both NBUS No.31 and the Paper Players challenges. 

I hope this qualifies over at PP since the card does not actually say Happy Birthday. 

The card elements here are all NBUS; the lovely Celebrate die is from SU and though I have thought of using it over the last few years, it never even made it off the original tape that it shipped in.  The sentiment was cut from black glitter card stock, then again from black foam so that it sits up nicely on the card.  The balloon die is from SSS and I cut four of them; then cut up the forth one to add extra balloons to the bunches.  Also, this die has one balloon that is separate from the bunch which allowed for the single floating balloon that is the POP of bright color. 

Thank you,

Carolyn
