It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
The amazing Ann is our hostess! This beautiful color combo is her inspiration for the week! Such a beautiful palette to create your projects. Have fun and get creative!
I will admit, I had a few struggles. This is my third attempt to create I card I was happy with. I love all these colors, but putting them all together became a challenge for me. I love Lost Lagoon, so decided to go with that as my background. I embossed the top panel with a striped embossing folder. I know I have used these Spellbinders flowers often, but I love them. The Fresh Picked Anemones are so fun to work with. You can created any color or flowers. A simple sentiment and a few enamel dots completed my card.

I love Lost Lagoon too and this is such a pretty background for your beautiful florals! Makes me think spring WILL arrive some time this year!
ReplyDeleteThose floral dies are gorgeous! They look fantastic against the Lost Lagoon striped background.
ReplyDeleteIt may have taken a few tries, but I think. you ended up with a gorgeous card! I don't blame you for using those dies repeatedly, the flowers are gorgeous. A lovely card design!
ReplyDeleteVery Pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt may have taken a few attempts Claire but I love where you ended up - this card is fabulous! The blocks of solid colour of your anemone against that lovely embossed stripe is so effective. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteClaire, I would have never thought you struggled one bit with these colors, because your card is stunning. I am also a big Lost Lagoon fan, as well as a fan of embossed backgrounds, so I LOVE the backdrop you created. The anemone dies are fabulous. What you created is a card that showcases the challenge colors perfectly. It's classy and elegant. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI too love your card with the anemones. A wonderful die set. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteWhat striking die cuts these are - and even more so using the challenge colours. I love the bold background, both strong colour and lovely texture. Great design! :-)
ReplyDeleteClaire, I love when you use this die set, the flowers are fabulous and were the perfect choice for this color combination! It also reminded me that I have a couple of SB florals in this style that I need to pull out and use!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what your struggles were but I love your card and it inspired my entry into the challenge.
ReplyDeleteClaire, I too made 3 cards before I was happy! Choosing a central color and making that the star worked beautifully for this card. Those bold blooms against the Lagoon pop and the stripes add wonderful depth and texture. Gorgeous card, my friend
