The Paper Players - PP545 - A Color Challenge from Claire
This week at The Paper Players, Claire has challenged us to work with four COLORS: Melon Mambo (hot pink), Bermuda Bay (aqua), Granny Apple Green (lime green), and black or white. I decided to use Concord and 9th's Rainbow Turnabout as my focal stamp. This set had been a COVID purchase, but since I have not made any cards in the last year, this is my first use of the set. WOW... it was very hard to use. After three tries, I decided I couldn't be the only one having trouble with this set. I turned to Google and sure enough Purple Lake Stamps posted a YouTube video on the difficulties and solutions to working with the Rainbow Turnabout. Presto...the fourth time was a charm! I did add in Fog (pale gray) as a fourth color; I believe neutrals are okay. I mounted the rainbow turnabout on a hot pink 5" square card base, added Simon Says Stamp's Sending Smiles die cut as a sentiment, and finished with a few translucent sequins.Enjoy.

What a fun, contemporary twist on our color challenge this week. This card did make me smile! Thank you for joining us at the Paper Players this week.
Elizabeth, I love this happy card! All the hard work paid off because this is fabulous! That big, sentiment just pops off the card, too! SO happy you joined my challenge at The Paper Players this week!
I'm glad you persevered with your rainbows Elizabeth because they are so bright and cheery and the perfect backdrop to that black diecut sentiment. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week - so lovely to see you in the gallery!
Those Turnabouts are a wee bit tricky but once you get the hang of them, they're pretty awesome! And your sweet rainbow card is awesome too, using all of our challenge colors! That big bold sentiment is perfect atop your fun background! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Players this week!
