The Paper Players Celebrate!



The challenge today at The Paper Players is a clean and simple CELEBRATION!

I chose a Birthday card for my celebration. I have no idea why....but I went with a one layer copic colored card. YIKES! That is a real challenge for me. First off...one layers are SO difficult. Second....I don't color often and third...NO DIES. WHAT? 

I used the stamp set Birthday Numbers from Simon Says. It's a fun set..cute images and of course all the numbers! I colored them in and then added some detail with a white gel pen. That was it. No dies. I made it...lol!

Your card is absolutely adorable...and colored to perfection, Laurie! These are such cute images. I will admit, I did stare at your card for quite some time, knowing there was something different from your usual style. Yep! No dies! There is something about this card that brings a smile to my face!!! I LOVE it!

Gorgeous Laurie! I love the bright colours and fun pattern - I think this must be the first 'no dies' card I've ever seen you make!

Laurie, when I first saw this card I thought "that isnt Laurie's card"! No dies... you are the queen of dies! However, I love this celebratory one layer birthday card. You colored it beautifully and the addition of the little white dots adds so much to your coloring. So honored to have been crafting beside you at the Players for so many challenges
