It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a bright, vibrant color challenge for all of us.
Now, I must admit I love bold colors, but this combo threw me for a loop. I needed a card for a couple that just purchased a new home, so I thought I would give it a try. She is an artist so, hmmmm---whimsical might be a fun way to go. I layered Night of Navy and Pool Party on top of a white card base. I added a piece of watercolored paper that I stenciled using a Tim Holtz sunhine and Distress inks. I combined a yellow and peach to make the Mango Melody. I used the stamp set Doddle Buds by WPlus9 for the flowers, leaves and stitch marks. I colored the flowers with Copic Markers and cut them out with the matching dies. The sign was stamped using the Welcome Home stamp set by Neat and Tangled Stamps. I cut it out with the matching die. A little Wink of Stella was added to the flowers and leaves for shine. I ended up loving the color combo and hope you do, too! Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create!
