Playing along with The Paper Players Color Challenge PP528
and The Sisterhood of Crafters: Smile challenges. I incorporated both challenges into my card. For the color challenge at The Paper Players, I used some gifted GKD cardstock (thanks, Diana) in red and white die cutting the smile letters using Concord & 9th’s Double cut Alphabet dies, adding some gold embossed Hero Arts Smile stamp and cut set on black cardstock. The challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters was either using the word Smile and/or a Sun on your card.
Happy Fastnacht Day! Happy Mardi Gras!!
Thanks for stopping in to take a peek.

Cute card – made me smile!
Love how you used the patterned paper for the die cut letters. Great use of all the colors for the challenge. Fun card!
Great card. I like how you cut the letters from the pattern paper. This is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Yes, this will bring a smile to someone’s face. I had that paper out last night. Love seeing patterned paper used as it inspires me to use mine. Lovely card!
Once you got going on the pp there is no limit to your creativity with it. The black and gold are great balance for that bold print.
This is a great card Gayle! I love the fun look of the pp in your letters. It’s a beautiful and encouraging card.
Gayle, a lovely “smile” card that made me smile. Thank you for joining us at the Paper Players this week.
Great card sure to make anyone smile, it made me smile. Love the simplicity and that the words are cut from pp.
