Join us! It is COLOR week at The Paper Players. Stef is challenging us to create a card that uses the colors: Peach, Light Blue and Green. I love this simple layered stencil from Taylored Expressions... so easy when paired with a pierced coverplate. I should note that I don't have peach ink so I tried two others, one apricot, and the other coral, both from Simon Says Stamp. I am not sure which one is closer to peach but both work. After stenciling the cardbase, I ran the card through my Big Shot with a pierced coverplate that fits the flowers. The coverplate, also from Taylored Expression, does not cut, only pierces, so it is perfect for a one-layer card. The final touches were a layered sentiment backed by vellum, and small micro green gems at all the intersections of the pierced design. Enjoy!
I made six copies of this design for donation.

Elizabeth, this is such a happy card! I love the stenciled flowers and the cover plate adds so much detail! The little green gems made me smile! You know I love bling!
hello, gorgeous! Such bold and beautiful shades of those challenge colors, Elizabeth - AND what an adorable stencil!
I do love a cover plate that makes a pattern without creating waste - this one might go on my list!

Bold, bright and beautiful Elizabeth - those stencilled flowers pair with that coverplate perfectly!
I think the "peach" colors you came up with work perfectly fine, Elizabeth, and you've created such a sweet card! The tiny flowers are darling and the added detail from the cover plate is fabulous. Love this!
I like the strong, clean look of your card front - so fresh! And of course, another of your lovely bold word dies makes it all add up to a beauty! :-)
What a delightful cover plate! A perfect background for those pretty stencilled flowers! Love the little pearls too, so sweet!
Elizabeth, your cards always make me smile! I love the bold, cheery hues you used. This cover plate is Awe-mazing!!! Of course, nothing makes my heart go pitter-patter more than a bit of bling. As always, it is a fabulous "Eliz Signature Card"!!!
Love the bold colors and the soft sentiment with the vellum layer.
