HAPPY MOTHER'S Day to all the Mom's! I hope your day is special!
It’s Sunday and it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
I am the hostess this week and I have a bold, bright color challenge for all of you! You know I love vibrant colors and I can't wait to see what you create! I did use flowers on my card, and I adore flowers, but I hope you will get create and show me some fun ideas!
My card was created for my Mommy for Mother's Day. She drinks a lot of tea and loves flowers, so I combined two of her favorites on her card. My card is created on a white card base. I used a Crumb Cake background. It was cut with a scalloped die and embossed with the large polka dot folder. The cup is from Uniko--I LOVE Tea stamp set. I fussy cut the cup and then paper pieced a piece of Strawberry Slush card stock for the cup. I embossed it with the small polka dot folder. The tea was colored with Copic Markers. The flowers are cut using the Stampin' Up! Botanical Blooms framelits. I love this set! It makes such gorgeous blooms! I used all the colors in the color combo for the flowers and leaves. Candy dots were added inside the flowers. The sentiment was stamped in black and cut with a banner die.

Happy Mother's Day Claire! Your mom will love her card...the flowers are so bright and beautiful. I LOVE the colors you chose for this challenge!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour challenge, Claire, even if it threw me at first. It was a lot of fun. I love your cup of flowers - it would have worked for last week's challenge too! Love those Botanical Blooms framelits - I still have mine too. The textures and layers you've used are fantastic and I like the way you've used Crumb Cake as well. Have a great week and I hope your Mother's Day was a lot of fun too.
ReplyDeleteOMG Claire I love these colours, they are SO me. But your card is just amazing. I love the textures and the layers exploding from the cup. Stunning. Clairex
ReplyDeleteLove your bright floral bouquet, Claire! Your flowers remind me of a SU hostess stamp set I haven't used in a long while, (In the Spotlight) so will create a card this week that uses them. Both your card and Sandy's inspired me to try something totally different that my usual style. Thanks! -Donna
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your Mom loved this card brimming with colorful goodness! Wonderful extra embossing touches too! I hope you're having a great week and thanks for a fun color combo this week! Hugs, Annie
ReplyDeleteClaire I must admit that these colors initially challenged me, but once I started working with them I was in love with the combo. Gorgeous floral creation, I love all the wonderful layers and I bet your mom loved it too.
