Stampin Up, The Paper Players challenge #283

Hello there, and if you think you've seen this card before, you just may have. I posted it a few days ago, and normally I do a new card for each post and each challenge. I think they deserve their very own special card each.

But this card fit the challenge so perfectly that I just had to use it.
The Paper Players challenge for this week is Up, Up and Away!

Click here to go to the challenge.

And here is what I used for my card:
I stamped on Designer Series Paper for my "Bug", and popped it up to float. I used Sprinkles of Life for the clouds, I think those are the best clouds! Beautiful Ride for the car and little balloons. That little ballon works with the Party Punch Pack that bundles with the Party Wishes stamps in the 2016 Occasions catalog.
The DSP I used is in the Cherry On Top 6x6 Designer series paper stack in the Annual catalog.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stampin Up, PPA258, a Birthday card

It's time for a new Pals Paper Arts challenge. This week it's a color challenge:

When I saw these colors I knew I wanted to use my new The Open Sea set and made a birthday card
for hubby. It's not a new set, but I have loved it sense it came out and always put it on the back burner for something else. Meanwhile fellow Pal and friend Windy Ellard keeps posting the cutest cards using this set, so today is my turn.

I used vellum for my stamped ships log, I stamped using StazOn ink as the vellum can take a really long time to dry especially in humid areas. If you use the StazOn ink please have the cleaner ready, it won't come off using a standard cleaner and when you use the StazOn cleaner, don't use water until you have put cleaner on the stamp and gotten it clean using a paper towel.

Ok, back to the card. I used just a bit of a lighter blue on the water using my Blender pen, then went over the top of the water line with a bit of Night of Navy.

I hope you enjoy.
