Forever Florals for The Paper Players

Ann Schach July 13, 2014 December 12, 2014Uncategorized

It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, LeAnne is challenging us to a color challenge featuring a quartet of colors: Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss, and Wisteria Wonder. The colors seemed perfect for flowers. I hope you enjoy today’s Forever Florals card.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.

Faux watercoloring! These beautiful blossoms were “watercolored” using Wisteria Wonder and Mossy Meadow inks, plus Blender Pens. Of course, a few Pearls accent the embossed oval.

Beautiful bow! Stampin’ Up!’s Seam Binding is perfect for making double bows. This one is in Wisteria Wonder.

Need a refresher on how to make this type of bow? Check out this video from my Archives:

The perfect “V”! Blackberry Bliss was used to ink up the Thank You sentiment from An Open Heart. The Hexagon Punch was used to create the perfect “V”.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I love the new In Colors. Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, and Lost Lagoon are such deep, rich colors. I think Lost Lagoon is my favorite of the five. Which one is yours? Won’t you let me know in your comment today? 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…
