A Paper Players Color Challenge

It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! The talented Sandy Mathis has a trio of gorgeous colors for us this week:  Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron.  I decided to ink up a stamp from the Occasions catalog, So Very Grateful.  I hope you enjoy today’s fun and fresh card.

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

  •  Painted posies! The Floral Spray from So Very Grateful was watercolored using Blender Pens and inks.  The image was stamped a second time, and two fronds of leaves and the center blossom were colored and snipped out.  To add depth, they were popped up on dimensionals.  Pearls bedeck the centers of the flowers for a sweet touch.
  • Tempting texture! The Calypso Coral banner was passed through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It pairs great with the polka dots, don’t you think?
  • Dotty about dots! I love this Calypso Coral polka dotted paper from the I am Me Designer Series Paper Collection.  It’s a fun pattern.  I will be sad to see it go.  However, I know I will find a paper from the new catalog to take its place!  Of course, the “thank you” sentiment could very easily be replaced with a “birthday” or “thinking of you” sentiment, if desired.
 

I hope those of you who are celebrating Mother’s Day have a lovely one.  I will spend extra time snuggling with the furbabies today.  Brady is gearing up for his jury and orals, and is not able to come home.  In fact, it will be a few weeks before I get to see him.  After graduation, he is heading to Italy with the University of Missouri Wind Ensemble. Not only will he play, he will also get time for sight-seeing. How awesome!  I’m a little sad that he will not be with me today, but we’ll make certain to celebrate when he does come back. In the meantime, I can reminisce about the earlier years!

As always, your comments are important to me.  Won’t you let me know what you think about today’s card? 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…
