It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
The amazingly talented Ann is our hostess this week! She has a beautiful color challenge for all of us! Don't you just love these rich fall colors? We can't wait to see what you create!
My card is created on a Merry Merlot card base. The next layer is cut with a stitched die in Pretty Peacock. I created a smooched watercolored panel using several shades of blue Distress Oxide Inks. The bottles are stamped in Cajun Craze using the Bottled Up stamp set from The Greetery. I cut them out with the matching dies. The daisies are from Clearly Besotted "Celebrating You". I used the matching dies to cut them out. I colored the daisies with Copic Markers. The centers of the daisies are stamped with Cajun Craze. I must admit, I had trouble using this color combo, but now I absolutely love it! Thank you Ann, for making me step out of the box.

Just gorgeous, Claire! Those bottle look so realistic and your watercolored layer is such a perfect touch. There is something about daisies that just makes them an instant day-brightener, isn't there. Fabulous card, my friend! Have an awesome day today! Big hugs!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Claire! The 3D effect of the stamps is amazing! Hugs back!
ReplyDeleteClaire, initially these colors were a push for me, too. But, like you, I was glad that Ann pushed me out of my comfort zone :-) I LOVE your smooshed background - it's perfect to highlight those gorgeous white daisies. Fabulous card, my friend. Hope you have a wonderful week
