Life's A Beach! The Paper Players Challenge PP785

 May 10, 2026

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.

I am the hostess this week and I have a very bright and happy color challenge for all of you!  I love all these colors, so I thought it would be fun to create cards using this palette.  

I used Gorgeous Grape for my background.  I used the Simon Says Stamps background stamp -Beach Party Umbrellas -on watercolor paper and heat embossed the image with Versa Mark and white embossing powder.  I used a paintbrush and watercolored the umbrellas using the three colors.  The sentiment and flip flops were stamped using the Simon Says Stamps called Beachy Keen.  The matching dies were used, too.  I love how this turned out.  Makes me long for a beach trip.
