It's Sunday and Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all! I hope your day is extra special!
It's time for a new color challenge at The Paper Players! The lovely, LeAnne is our hostess this week! She has a beautiful color combo for us and we can't wait to see all your creations!
Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand and Pistachio Pudding
I am using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. It was perfect for my card!
I really like Sahara Sand and I never use it! I need to remember to pull it out more often because it is such a fabulous base color! I struggled with what I wanted to do with these colors, but ended up loving the combo. Thanks, LeAnne for challenging us!
My base card is Sahara Sand. (5 1/2 X 4 1/4) I added a Lost Lagoon border cut with stitched dies and then found this piece of Sahara Sand in my stash. It is from a retired DSP set that is retired from Stampin' Up! I have not used the Flower Patch stamp and die set in a long time and decided this was perfect for this sketch. I love these whimsical flowers and then added a few pearls in the centers of each flower. The banners were cut using Stampin' Up! Color Collections DSP.
A matching envelope and a hand written note and this card is ready to be mailed to someone special!
I always love to hear from you, so please leave a comment!

Hi Claire! I’m right there with you with needing to use Sahara Sand more often. I still am using the original card stock pack I bought in 2008! Your card is beautiful! I love the mix of patterns and the dimension from the layered flowers. So pretty! Have a great day! Hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you about Sahara Sand - it is a gorgeous base color and you've used it so well. Fabulous card and fabulous use of all three colors.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with my colors, Claire, and I am glad you were challenged, because you certainly rose to it! You can never go wrong with those florals, especially with your stitched sentiment panel and banners! Thanks for rocking my challenge!
