Brightly colored apples will brighten up anyone’s day on this “Thanks For Your Kindness” card. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week the talented Joanne is hosting our monthly Clean and Simple challenge. The theme is “Use One of Something: Use One Image Only”. I used one large image featuring apples and leaves. I can’t wait to see what YOU create. But before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, remember that when The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:
Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered
Colors Of The Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
To meet the challenge criteria of using one image only, I selected the large image from the Apple Harvest stamp set, which featured three apples and lots of leaves. This image was fun to color using Stampin’ Blends. The Granny Apple Green leaves and Real Red apples are so cheery. This card will definitely brighten up someone’s mailbox. The largest Radiating die and the Crosshatch embossing folder add interest while keeping things clean. Three Parakeet Party pearls are the only embellishments needed.

It’s Color Challenge Week at The Paper Players and sweet Jaydee has a gorgeous palette of colors for you. They are stunning together. I hope you love them as much as I do. I can’t wait to see how YOU use these colors!
It made me sad that I couldn’t bring my ‘corn. To make me feel better, Mom let me lay across her lap. That made me all happy again. We are both laughing ’cause I was wagging my nub, and it made Mom’s chair wiggle.
This week, sweet Claire is hosting our monthly theme challenge. What a perfect theme for spring! It’s Rainy Days! I loved this image from the In the Moment stamp set of a woman peering out the window. I always wondered what thoughts she was pondering. Of course, I colored the skies a shade of rainy gray-blue in order to tie in with the rainy days theme. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
