It’s time to play at Pals Paper Arts! This week we are featuring a trio of bright and cheery colors. I thought they would be perfect to pair with the sneak peek set, Friendly Wishes, from Stampin’ Up!’s 2015 – 2016 Annual Catalog. I hope you enjoy this fun card! 
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide x 5-1/2″ long.
- Markers! Stampin’ Write Markers were used to color this delightful image from the new Friendly Wishes set. Daffodil Delight was used to highlight the flourishes, while Tempting Turquoise was selected to fill in the word “Friend” and Melon Mambo the heart.
- Ribbons! Island Indigo cotton ribbon served as a substitute for Tempting Turquoise, and was used to tie a bow around the heart clip from the Basic Hodgepodge Clips Collection. A snippet of Melon Mambo ribbon was added for a splash of color!
- Bling! Rhinestones were used to add a touch of bling. They worked perfectly on the arrow, which was created with the What’s Up? punch. Although I purchased this punch early on, I stuck it in a drawer, and never used it. Sadly it is on the Retiring List…but I will continue to use it. The arrow is a perfect way to draw attention to a word or phrase, especially when accented with rhinestones.
I hope you liked today’s card and the sneak peek of this new stamp set. Won’t you let me know what you think in today’s comment? I am excited about the new catalog for sure. However, I have to make sure I don’t do what I did with the What’s Up? punch. I totally forgot I had it. Yikes! As always, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

Super, super cute! Makes me think of the circus. Love it Ann!
Just added this stamp set to my Wish List…those that we could not pre-order! It is a long list but I will shorten it over time! Love what you did – using some of my favorite things and the COLORS – fabulously cheerful – and the ribbon and embellishments really set it all off beautifully! My one question is where did you use the EF?
Cheerful and friendly card. Love the rhinestones on the arrow.
Love it!! Reminds me of a carnival and that’s one of the best feelings I can have. The colors are happy and that arrow made me think immediately of the arrow on the many wheels of fortune.
What a wonderful card! The colors are so pretty and so cheerful. Love the ribbons and the arrows that you added. Looking forward to the new catalog. 🙂

Love it! So bright and cheerful! Who wouldn’t love to receive this card! 🙂
What a bright, fun card! Love the colors and the DSP you used!
What a fun card! So rich in details! Great job as always. Hope you are having a great time on your trip. Would you believe I will be in Burlington tomorrow for Bill’s funeral? Of all the times. Plus, I can’t even see the pups let alone the big kids! It will be a fast trip as we aren’t going to board Ted or stay the night. Have a fun time and a safe trip home.
What a Beautiful card and great sketch and color scheme as well as a wonderful layout.
