Hi everyone! It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players. This week the awesome Joanne is our hostess, and she has a fabulous sketch for us to play along with. I had so many ideas for this one, I may use it again very soon!
Before I share my card, I also wanted to mention that my colors and leaves were inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year for 2017, Greenery. I love nature and the outdoors, so I am really drawn to this color. I've made several cards with green leaves over the last few weeks but I promise I will take a break after this!
So here is how I interpreted the sketch and the color. I did some smooshing and splattering on a piece of watercolor paper with a few shades of green distress ink, then die cut the leaves. I cut the leaves a second time on a piece of scrap paper to use a guide for cutting out the green layer on the bottom. I added my sentiment and a few sequins to finish things off.

Sandy, I love your interpretation of this sketch! The lovely smooched and splattered green leaves you created are beautiful! I love these colors, too! Wishing you a lovely week, My Friend! XXX
Your leaves look fabulous and they are my favorite color green! Fabulous take on the sketch! Hugs!
So glad you liked my sketch Sandy - I love your unique leaves, very creative! I'm also a big fan of green - very calming! I seem to be in a 'red and white' rut lately, maybe we should swap! A gorgeous card!
Everyone had such great ideas...including you! Another creative idea. The leaves are awesome...well done Sandy!
Have a great week!
Fabulous idea with leaves divider, Sandy! Love the greens!
Stunning leaves, Sandy! Love the splotched, watercolor look and your idea to create the border is genius. I love the way the leaves border the bottom--beautiful!
You can use green leaves as much as you want, Sandy, I love them all! What a beautiful way to interpret the sketch! So fresh!
Sandy, love that you shared the pantone color. I was tempted to use leaves when I saw the sketch they seem such a natural fit for it. Yours are gorgeous. So multi-layered. Stunning card, my friend
