The Paper Players Challenge #55 - Color Challenge with Flower Fest

It's Sunday and a new challenge at The Paper Players website. This week they are having a color challenge PP55 from Lesley. You can you any product, the goal is to have fun, so if you would like to join in the fun go to their website by clicking here.

I will admit this one was a challenge for me with the colors, but that's exactly what this was a color challenge. At the end, I liked the color combo. It always amazes me how I like the combo afterwards, so give it a try.....here is mine below.

I'm still in the flower mood it seems, this time, I used the stamp set called: Flower Fest which is one of my favorites along with Subtles DSP. I added little flowers at the bottom using the Itty Bitty shape punches and than used White Uniball Signo Gel Pen to add the dots in.

For the flower, I used white embossing power and stamped the image on Grey cardstock and punched it out using the 2 3/8" scallop punch. Than, I took the stamp image again and embossed it using Baja Breeze cardstock. Finally, I took the rose image and embossed it using Poppy Parade.

Yes, I did use stampin dimensionals under the poppy parade rose and under the Baja Breeze rose. For the center, I used Crumb Cake and poppy parade which I punched out using the Eyelet Border Punch and added some Basic Pearls to top it off. Sentiment was from the one of the new hostess sets called: Happiest Birthday Wishes. Hope you enjoy!! Pin It

Mojo Monday MOJO197 - Something Old with Something New - Flower Fest

Another week for Mojo Monday and a sketch design by Julee Tilman. This one is called MOJO197.  If you would like to play it's easy go to their website at Mojo Monday and link up your card. It's Fun !!!.....here is mine

As you can see, I choose square, but I'm in the mood for circle too, so I may just try another one. This card uses retired paper called Sending Love Specialty (something old) and one of the newest stamp sets called: Flower Fest (something new).

Here is a close up of the flowers and leaves that I embossed using white embossing powders. I love the effect of embossing, it really brings alot to the card. 

The colors are: Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette,(flowers) and Lucky Limeade (leaves)
For the sentiment I used: Perfect Punches which will still be in the new catalog...yeah!! in Marina Mist. The little ribbon is 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (Marina Mist)....here is another view.

As always, feel free to email me anytime if you have any question on how I did something or what I used. I would love to hear from you. Enjoy!! Pin It
