It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, we are being challenged to create a Monochromatic Clean and Simple card. I hope you enjoy my Work of Art card in shades of orange!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- A rainbow of oranges! Using the Arched Swatch image from a Work of Art, a rainbow of orange hues were stamped in Cajun Craze, Tangelo Twist, Tangerine Tango, and Pumpkin Pie. Because I needed 5 swatches (in keeping with the Rule of Odd Numbers), I added a fifth swatch in Crushed Curry. It’s not orange, but it coordinated nicely.
- Serenity! The Flowers from Serene Silhouettes was inked in Early Espresso. To add a little interest, a single Pearl was added to the center of each blossom.
- Fabulous! The sentiment from Work of Art does indeed look fabulous when perfectly placed using a Stamp-a-ma-jig.
Today is my travel day as I return home from Convention. It has been a fun-filled trip…and I can’t wait to share what I learned and saw with those of you who were unable to attend. I hope my pictures turned out. I used my cell phone to take them. At my age, I didn’t want to lug around my good camera.
As for today’s card, I find it difficult to do the Clean and Simple style. But, I do like the way this one turned out. I hope you do, too. Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Love all the oranges you’ve used on this card Ann – they make a beautiful sunset. Another clever use of the Work of Art stamp set too.
So cool to see the range of oranges we have and I love the pop of curry! Wonderful card and perfect for the challenge! So good to see you at convention and huge CONGRATS on all your wins!! You deserve it! ((hugs))
Your designs always make the challenges look easy! I love the crisp look and bold colors you used.
Love the use of the Work of Art image. That set is so darn versatile! And not even one pearl! Or did I miss it? 😉
Such a lovely card with all those shades of orange. Adding the yellow just adds to the color tones. I always like the look of something stamped in black on top–so clean and classic. The silhouette flower is just the perfect choice. Darlene
I share your discomfort with CAS (What is too much? What is too little?) but your design was perfect in my mind. I love the ombre effect with graduating shades of orange, topped with Crushed Curry. A really pretty card!
Love the creative swoosh you’ve used! Hope you made it home safe and sound…and you’re still probably walking on air! Congrats again!
Not my favorite color but always enjoy what you create!
I love this, Ann! A great CAS card, and how brilliant to layer the shades of orange. A real work of art!
Great color combination and I love stamping a black silhouette over a background like that.
Love your card. Those colors go so great together. TFS.

What a great set of colors for the monochromatic challenge! The Crushed Curry works perfectly. Gorgeous card!
Love it! I love these two sets and have neither. I agree with Col – reminds me of a sunset! Great job as always! Looking forward to hearing about the convention.
