It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the lovely Anne Marie has a beautiful color challenge for us: Grapefuit Grove, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, and a color of your choice. I used Whisper White as my fourth color. Isn’t this a yummy combination?
I used a variety of framelits and the Butterfly Gala bundle to create today’s friendship card. Enjoy!
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
These are such gorgeous spring colors together. I opted to make Grapefruit Grove the primary color, and accent with Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. The card base is actually Pool Party, but I wasn’t happy with how it looked next to the piece of Nature’s Poem designer series paper I had selected. I happened to have a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock which had been embossed using the Subtle embossing folder sitting on my table from a previous project. When I held it up next to the designer paper, I knew I had a winner.
After I started writing up this post, I noticed that the colors of the card, as I photographed it, were “off”, even after color correction. Grrr! I hate it when that happens!
The sentiment is from the Forever Lovely stamp set. It was inked in Calypso Coral, and cut out with this gorgeous framelit from the Wonderful Floral Framelits collection. Daffodil Delight organdy ribbon was woven around the edge of the die cut. This ribbon can be yours for FREE (along with 4 other lovely colors) with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.
The Butterflies, from the Butterfly Gala set, were inked in Tranquil Tide and stamped onto Pool Party. They are a snap to punch out using the Butterfly Duet Punch. The larger one is resting on a lattice (Eclectic Layers Thinlit collections). A few Daffodil Delight sprigs (Frosted Bouquet Thinlits collection) add a touch of color.

In true Schach-tastic Style, you threaded the ribbon through the framelit and *poof* made magic happen! Love all of the details on your card, my friend. Fabulous!
Ann, that bold pop of gingham reminds me of summer picnics and the butterfly is fabulous. Gorgeous card

I love the gingham check, I love the layering, I love the butterflies – but the thing I love most of all is the ribbon threaded through the diecut!! Ann, this is truly inspired and I am going to having to copy that idea – what a great way to showcase both ribbon and die! Way to go!!
Very pretty…those butterflies are just stunning and add such a lovely touch to this beautiful card! You had me at the gingham, though..love that gingham!
Ann this is so pretty. I LOVE what you did with the ribbon! You are so clever with your designs…. Hugs
WOW! Ann, this is so gorgeous! So many details to talk about! I love the ribbon laced around the sentiment and the gingham is fabulous! This card would brighten anyone’s day! I hope you have a fantastic week, My Friend! XX
