It’s Sunday…and time to play at The Paper Players! This week, the talented Anne Marie has selected a trio of bright and cheery colors for a fun color challenge: Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, and Calypso Coral. I hope you enjoy today’s card, created with the Stippled Blossoms stamp set.
The finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide x 4-1/4″ long.
- Two-Step Stamping! Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral were used to “two-step” stamp flowers from the Stippled Blossoms set. Of course, no bloom would be complete without Basic Pearl centers!
- Calypso! A Calypso Coral Designer Frame forms the perfect backdrop for the Birthday Wishes sentiment from Bring on the Cake. To draw the eye to the sentiment, a Flower was inked up and stamped off once before stamping onto the Whisper White oval.
- Delightful Details! A Calypso Coral Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border accents the center panel. And with the release of the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack, nothing is easier than adding a pierced border around the Apothecary Accent Framelit! The Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder was used to create a quick and easy Lucky Limeade background.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I am really curious to see how the central panel and flowers would look with Pool Party chevrons. Join me tomorrow to see how it turns out. And in case you missed it, I am offering some delicious calorie-free Blog Candy. How does a 6″ x 12″ sample of all of the new Designer Series Papers sound?

Gorgeous, Ann! You ARE the detail queen! Love your take on the colors this week! 🙂
Two-Step sets always add such fantastic dimension and texture, but you’ve multiplied it times 100 with all your foam tape and embossing and layers! Yum-O! LOVE!
Wow, this is fabulous Ann! LOVE your composition, with the stamped background die-cut, the offset sentiment & those magnificent roses! Absolutely stunning. 🙂
WOW, Ann, another beauty ~ this is simply stunning! Eager to see your next post.
What a beautiful card, Ann! I love this combo!
Pretty card. I love to see each card you design. You have a flair for creativity!!
Ann, love the colors, Pool Party is my favorite on this card.
Ann I absolutely Love the coloring on these flowers. So glad you gave us a close up. Wow.
I also love the new chevron folder but wish it would fit in the BS without having to make a mat. I like to emboss the card fronts too. hugs.
Ann, purely lovely with all the texture everywhere! Ann what is the Essentials Piercing Paper Pack?
I love your closeup shot showing all of the layers – beautiful! Hard to appreciate unless you have the card in your hands!
What a gorgeous card. The colors are amazing together. Love all the textures too.
Love your card! I am always amazed at the layering and texture you use! I’m just not that artistic! Maybe that’s why I come back to you time and time again to CASE!
Another beauty that makes me “need” the materials you used so I can CASE 🙂

Live this card and how you’ve mounted the sentiment. I need to go order another punch now.
Ann, this card is exquisite! Layering the roses on the edges of the oval embossed Designer Frame is such a beautiful effect! *Love* the pearls in the centers of the roses. The embossed chevron pattern is a great contrast to the striped DSP. So much detail! The paper piercing is another great touch. Wonderful card! Thanks for sharing!
Such gorgeous roses–they really look so real. I love the color combo and have been working lots with Calypso Coral recently. It is my “color” of choice right now. Dar
Beautiful flowers! Love how you stamped the sentiment with the flower in the background. So subtle but makes a big impact. Lovely design Ann! Looking forward to seeing this with pool party too.
Oh my Gosh how beautiful! I wish I had that stamp set now! Tee Hee!
This is such a beautiful card! I wasn’t sure about this stamp set at first, but it’s making its way to my wish list now that I am seeing gorgeous inspiration pieces like this. Thanks for sharing!
Yum! I just came in from a hot car and when I looked at the flower colors it reminded me of the missile popsicles, yellow, orange and red. I love the pearl centers, really pop the image!! Another masterpiece! Have a great day….

Love the colors & design of this one. The flowers with the two step stamping are really pretty. How did you cut around the embossed circle from the frame? Did the large oval punch fit around it, or does it cut out the inside saying? Really love that pop of coral!
Just pure perfection Ann, I love how you used two of the colors on your flowers!!! Your cards always knock my socks off!!!! Amazing!!
What a pretty color combo, and you used it so beautifully! Your intricate cards astound me! Thanks again for the chance at some sweet dsp!
This is just stunning! I love the all the detail you add to your cards~
You designed a very pretty card with those colors. I’m sure it will brighten whoever you send it to.
Gosh those flowers are gorgeous in those colours Ann! And the pearls in the centres finish them off beautifully…
Beautiful card. Love the background and the flowers. Can’t wait to see what you do with Pool Party.
This is just stunning! Love the chevron background and I don’t even like chevrons much! lol These colors are so beautiful together and I love how you’ve used them with the two step stamped flowers! What an awesome card, one of my absolute favorites!
A beautiful card Ann. I love what you created from the color cobination Ann Marie chose. All the pretty flower around the framelit is quite an eye catcher.
Say Hi to the furbabies.
Ann, this card is spectacular!! Love the layers and details of the paper piercing. I think it would look great with Pool Party as well. Color combination awesome and beautiful card as always!!
Positively beautiful card ! I love the colors, layers and gorgeous flowers. It’s so bright and cheerful, too.
This is one bright and cheery card! What details! I love the papers with the dots and the stripes but then there is the off stamped flower in the oval sentiment and then those darn pearls! Amazing details! It will be very interesting to see the different color. I love chevons. This is just plain fun. If the colors were pinks – one would say they came out of my husband’s flower garden! Great job!
