The Paper Players PP715 - A Color Challenge from Claire

Join us! It is COLOR week at The Paper Players.  Claire is challenging us to use the colors Magenta, Purple, Turquoise and Orange in our cards.   WOW...what a color combination.  I struggle with color challenges but I think I nailed this one!  I used Taylored Expressions Four Seasons stamp and stencil.  Above, the stem background is stamped in black on Neenah Classic Creast Cream.  I used distress inks to stencil the leaves, Peacock Feathers, Carved Orange, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet. Final touch was a layered sentiment backed with vellum.

Continuing with my New Year's resolution, I made 4 additional cards for donation to Friends After Diagnosis, an organization supporting cancer patients.  In addition to their many patient programs, therapy and service, staff members often send messages of support to local patients.  In making these duplicates, I varied the paper to see the effects.  Although not clear in the photo, I tried Neenah Solar Crest, Hammermill, Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock.

Check out our fabulous guest designers as well as the rest of the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.
