The Paper Players PP720 - A Color Challenge from Elizabeth


Join us for the first challenge of 2025!  It is going to be a great, and very crafty, New Year.

It is COLOR week at The Paper Players.  I am the host this week and I am challenging you to use the colors PINK, ORANGE and GREEN in your card creations.  Of course, neutrals are allowed; white, black, gray and kraft.

I used a floral layering set from Alex Syberia. I chose a light and dark pink and orange, as well as a green.  I think these florals are more than worth the time spent die cutting and assembling. I adhered the flower stem to an embossed black A2 card base.  To finish, I added a layered sentiment and a few glitter dots.  Given I had to die cut the flowers from four cardstocks (then mix and match), I had enough pieces for four cards, which will be donated.

Check out our design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:
 
1.  Create a new paper project
2.  Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us and provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge submission.
3.  Please link your card to no more than four challenges in total.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery. 

Elizabeth

Elizabeth, I am so happy you chose these fabulous, bright colors to start the New Year. Your card is fantastic. I love the flowers you created! The shades of pink and orange are lovely. It certainly was worth all the time you spent on this beauty! The black background is perfect to make these beauties pop off the card!
