Papertrey 8th Anniversary - Take One

I'm entering a few of the challenges at Papertrey, so I've split them into a few posts.  Here's post No.1 for Challenges 1 and 2:

Challenge 1 - Colour Recipe and Sketch



I've used the Wet Paint set together with a Penny Black die which I've covered with encaustic wax.

Challenge 2 - CASE Maille Belles

I chose this card by Maille:

Maille Belles
Here's my version, which I'm also entering into Simplicity One Layer Challenge - You Blend.


The tree is made a from a wildflower in the Larger Than Life set, sentiment from Communique Curves Sentiments, house from The Bee's Knees Houses.

Back soon with the next instalment!

  10. Wow, Shirley, they are both fabulous cards!!! Your OLS card is particularly lovely, with the dotted line adding horizontal interest in the mostly vertical card, grounding the design nicely. Thanks so much for sharing it at OLS!!!
