A Challenge Trio

Something I rarely do is try to combine three challenges on one project.  So, yes I did try it on this card.  I kept it very simple and used some of that gorgeous new Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack from Stampin' Up!®  I love that stuff!  I used my Simply Scored Stylus to burnish the back side of the vellum.  It turns the image white and it raises it up a bit which is hard to see in a picture.  I love the way it adds color to the vellum image.

The sketch is from Retro Sketches.  The colors from Colour Me...!  The theme is from The Paper Players.  I changed it up a bit as far as the sketch but I'm hoping I pulled off the basic shapes they were after.  So, tell me, how do you think I did?  :-)


Stamp Set:  Best Day Ever (sentiment); Ink:  Tangelo Twist; Card Stock:  Whisper White, Tangelo Twist, Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack; Accessories & Tools:  Flower Medallion Punch, Simply Scored Stylus, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Dimensionals, Adhesive Sheets (Scrapbook Adhesives)

Here is the sketch from Retro Sketches.

    What a fun Spring-y card! I have trouble combining three challenges at once, I'm impressed with your ability to do so!! Thank you so much for including The Paper Players in your crafting fun this week!
