It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
I sure hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to start a new year playing along with us!
Elizabeth is our hostess this week and she has a gorgeous color challenge for us. Pink, Orange and Green are the colors she choose. You can use any shade of these colors and you can also add in any neutral. So have fun and get creative!
We had our first snow in Atlanta on Friday. We had not had snow it 3 years. It was beautiful to look at, but I am not a huge fan of winter. So, I decided to have some fun with it. I created a panel of embossed snowflakes using an embossing folder. I used a sponge to add some black ink to create a little contrast. I do love snowmen and I pulled out this fabulous stencil by Waffle Flower Stamps. The Oversized Snowman Stencil is easy to use and I had fun creating this trio of friends. I used Distress inks in Pickled Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Twisted Citron. I then sponged some black ink over the scarf. The sentiment is from Waffle Flower Stamps and it is called Snow Cheer Sentiements. I used the matching dies to cut it out. I hope these jolly snowmen made you smile!

Those snowmen are the CUTEST, Claire! I love that you used these spring-like colors for the snowmen's apparel, such a fun idea. Hope you're surviving the snow and that it doesn't turn to ice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative use of the colours, Claire. Flowers works so well with them but oh my, those snowpeople are just awesome. So much fun! It never snows where I live and in my few dealings with it, I've always felt it was nicer in a photo than in reality! I hope you've had a fabulous holiday season.
ReplyDeleteI love your snowmen and I am a wee bit jealous that you got more snow than we did! Such a fun, happy card! Hopefully all your snow will melt real soon!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Claire! Your card brought a smile to my face. I know whomever receives this card is going to love it. What a great way to show off the challenge colors! Have a wonderful week...and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI love those larger than life snowmen Claire - snow much fun!! We've had lots of snow here in the UK recently too, but not where I live thankfully - just one light dusting that disappeared. It has been SO cold though - I am ready for spring!
