The Paper Players PP737 - A Color Challenge from Ann




Join us! It is COLOR week at The Paper Players.  Ann is challenging you to use the colors Bubble Bath (pale pink), Berry Burst (red violet) and Lost Lagoon (aqua) in your card creations.  Of course, neutrals are allowed; white, black, gray and kraft.  

So I was a bit leery about this color combination at first, but the end result proves it works!  This is a simple layering stencil with four stencils included, one for each color.  I added brown to the color combination for the flower centers. The final touches include embossing the edges of the card base, and adding a layered, vellum backed, sentiment. Easy peasy.

This card was so easy to make that I made 5 duplicates for donation to Operation Gratitude, an organization supporting our Military and first responders letting them know that what they do matters. One of the handmade items they request is handmade cards for their care packages so recipients can write their loved ones.

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.

Thank you for your kind thoughts, Eliz. It's been a tough few weeks. I do love the way you've made these colours so bold and punchy. As always, a super creation. :-)

Those bold stencilled flowers make a big impact Elizabeth - I love it! And you can't beat a vellum-layered diecut sentiment :-)
