It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week we have a quartet of colors for you: Primrose Petals, Pear Pizzazz, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry. After the polar vortex we have been experiencing, I was happy to play with these spring colors. I thought they would work well with a fresh and hip stamp set, so I inked up Peachy Keen for the first time! Enjoy!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Retro Meets Chic
This folded card measures 4-1/4″ wide x 5-1/2″ long.
- “Popped” up and peachy! The sentiment was inked twice…once in Coastal Cabana and once in Crushed Curry. The “Peachy”Crushed Curry was snipped out and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Framed! The new Filmstrip die from the On Film Framelits collection makes a pretty accent. A circle, cut with a Circles Framelit, is tucked underneath one edge.
- Primrose blossoms! Although they are not peach blossoms, the larger Flower from Stippled Blossoms works as a colorful accent for the sentiment. It was inked in Primrose Petals, and stamped off once. The stippled overlay is “full strength” Primrose Petals.
Peachy Keen is an adorable set with a retro-vibe. It pairs perfectly with this Coastal Cabana pattern from the Fresh Print Designer Paper Stack. And look how well the doily and pearls work as accents. It is a case of “Retro-Cute meets Elegant-Chic”! What do you think of today’s card? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment?

Beautiful card!
All the DT cards are gorgeous this week, so I had to come visit to let you know. Love this card – the clever use of the filmstrip and the gorgeous flowers go together so well.
Love the colors. Such a pretty card with the chosen colors. Colors, layout and everything goes so well
Using 4 colors would be a challenge for me for sure. I do good if I’m able to get 3.
Have a great week
What a fun card design!
Love what you did with the pearls on your photo frame!!
Ann I agree with the rest… this IS Magnificent! Love the way you put the colors together.. everything just POPs! You are so clever to use film strip too… wow. This is going in my FAVs folder.
Hugs
These are certainly challenging colors to combine but you created a classic. So feminine & old fashioned but with all the modern flair. Beautiful.
Love the elegant and cutesy vibe, Ann! You always rock the stippled blossoms and I love how you’ve paired it with the cheerful polka dot paper. Reminds me of a lovely vintage tablecloth! ((hugs))
Just peachy! Yes, a welcome breath of spring air! How you can manage all these colors is beyond me but it turned out really great! I am a sucker when it comes to dolies!

I too feel overwhelmed with 3 colors so 4 is totally something I have to work long at to feel comfortable doing. You are doing such a great mix of colors, it is so pleasing to the eyes! Well done Ann. Nicole
This has such a fresh feel, Ann!
I see these colors made us both think of roses and doilies, Ann! Love, love how you combined the traditional with more trendy elements like the film strip and bold polka dots. Awesome card, and awesome use of the colors!
Love the colors and all the elements. Great card!
4 colors is extremely hard! You did a magnificent job once again. You are just oozing with talent.

Such a cute card, Ann…love the way you stamped the sentiment!
So pretty! I do well with two color’s and freak out with 3 colors; but, four….way out of my comfort zone. Love the flower and the leaves. The On film is my new FAVE framelit. I really like how you used it on your card and, of course, the pearls. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us!
Wow – what a magnificent job you did with what I would consider a difficult set of colors. It is definitely retro and chic and all the things you said about it!
