Hope This Makes You Smile PP394 SSC179

May 20, 2018


It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps!

It is not often I can combine these challenges but, this week it worked out perfectly!   I hope you will play along with both challenges! 

The lovely Laurie is the hostess this week at  The Paper Players.  She has a Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us.  Her theme is "Blooms".  Remember in addition to the theme of "blooms", this week is a Clean-and-Simple (CAS) challenge!  What do we mean by CAS?
  • Minimal layers and embellishments
  • Plenty of open space, aka "white" space
  • Simple and uncluttered


    The color challenge  at Sunday Stamps is perfect for any type of card.  So have fun and get creative!

    My card is created on a white card base.  I used the Concord and Ninth Hope Stamp Set to create my sentiment.  The Hero Arts Ombre Pink to Red ink was used to create the sentiment .  The flowers were created using the Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set.  
    I used Altenew Dark and Dark Night Inks for the blue peonies.  The circles were stamped off using the ombre ink using the same stamp set.  A few sparkling clear sequins were added to complete my card.

    7. Those blue peonies are so unusual Claire yet look fabulous against the white with the pink dots. A lovely ombre to the word HOPE too!

    8. I have the Peony stamp set and I love it... but I've never thought of making them blue! Such a lovely contrast with the pink and white. So pretty, Claire.

    9. Claire, I love how you clustered the peonies against the bottom of the card and the deep blue with the pink is an unexpected, but wonderful, color combo. Fabulous card my friend
