It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
I am the hostess this week and I have a beautiful Color Challenge for all of you! Blackberry Bliss, Cherry Cobble, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie are a few of my favorite SU classic colors. I can't wait to see what you create! Have fun!
I love Fall and I decided to start my stash of autumn cards. I used Cherry Cobbler for my background. I added a piece of Stampin Up Need For Tweed DSP for the next layer. The rectangle element is backed with Cherry Cobbler and I added a different piece of DSP from this pack. I used the smooshing technique with Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler on pieces of watercolor paper. Then I used the leaf die from Stampin Up Autumn Leaves set to cut out the leaves. It is a favorite of mine. It is retired, but I will keep it in my stash. I used Blackberry Bliss to create the smooshed watercolor paper for the vein in the leaves. I added a twine bow and the sentiment is from matching stamp set SU Autumn Leaves.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Claire! You know me and fall cards...they are my fave! The tweed papers give the illusion of so much texture. What a lovely way to show off your amazing challenge colors...I LOVED them so much. This was a great challenge. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, great texture, congrats 😊💐 happy day
ReplyDeleteThe cluster of leaves is gorgeous but when paired with that tweed paper - delicious! The paper adds so much texture and warmth - just right for those cool evenings. Loved your colours as I love playing with rich colour. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are amazing, but the tweedy background is really make me smile! Love it all! Thanks for challenging us with these colors this week!!!
ReplyDeleteClaire, you chose a beautiful color combo for this challenge and I love how you used it for your lovely card. The leaves are gorgeous and mounted against the different dsps adds so much texture. Thank you for getting us into autumn mode with these colors!
ReplyDeleteI love that sentiment for a fall card Claire and those leaves are so striking with the purple veins. Beautiful paper choices too!
ReplyDeleteClaire, so much gorgeous texture on your card and the rich colors work beautifully together. The twine is the perfect finishing touch. Hugs, Jaydee
