Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's my turn to host this week and as it's the fifth Sunday of the month we have a bonus TicTacToe challenge board to work with:
I've chosen a board full of my favourite things so I'm looking forward to seeing which row or column you tackle. I went down the middle column with flowers/free/patterned paper for my card, but there are also some diecuts, yellow and layers in there too! I used the sketch over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for my layout - take a look at what I came up with:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I decided I wanted to make a yellow card, so went hunting for some yellow papers - the retired Floral Delight pack was perfect. I already had a couple of flowers fussy cut that worked perfectly with the layout, so all I had to do was choose some other papers in the pack for the strips and border, add in some additional sprigs of greenery courtesy of my trusty retired sprig punch, and add a diecut sentiment from my favourite Words of Beauty sentiment set:
A few enamel dots and a linen bow complete my card. There's something so cheerful about a yellow card - I love the bright gingham border on this one too.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

Enjoy your day; I spent yesterday afternoon watching the James Junior playing cricket in the soaring heat; no amount of ice lollies between runs seemed to cool anyone down! Today I am going to get up early and tackle my mountain of ironing (a necessary evil of having the boy home - but I wouldn't have it any other way!) before the heat of the day whilst the hubs is out on his paddleboard giving someone a lesson, then hopefully spend a relaxing afternoon pottering in the shade. I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
