You Melt My Heart--PP #352

July 9, 2017

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

The Lovely LeAnne is our hostess this week and she has a beautiful monochromatic color palette for all of us.  We can't wait to see what you create!


My first thought with these colors was flowers, but I decided to step outside the box and use ice cream/popsicles.  I love both and any flavor works for me! 


My card is created on a white card base.  I used Berry Blast card stock and the MFT Bold Stripes cover up to create the frame.  The large starburst was cut using SU dies in Sweet Sugarplum.  The small white starburst was cut with the same frames and embossed with a polka dot embossing folder.  The ice creams are stamped in Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum using the Reverse Confetti Let's Chill stamps set and cut with the matching dies.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set and stamped in black ink.   Wink of Stella was added for shine and a few enamel dots were added for fun! 


Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.

HUGS!--The Challenge #90

July 6, 2017

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge at The Challenge!

This week we have an inspiration challenge for all of you!



A few rules to keep things fun and fair!
1. Use the challenge to create a NEW card.
2. Please add the challenge graphic to your blog post (copy and paste).
3. Have fun and comment on the submissions of others.
4. Anything that is offensive to myself or to my viewers will be removed.
5. You are welcome to link with other challenges.


I was inspired by the black and white striped fabric on the arms of the chair and the gorgeous colors of the flowers. I wish I had a chair like this!  It is gorgeous!




My card is created on a white card base.  I use the MFT Bold Stripes cover plate to create the black striped frame.  I also used the die to cut out a white frame and used the stripes to create the pattern.  The  roses from Altenew Penned Rose stamp set are stamped on vellum and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  I colored the flowers and leaves with Zig Clean Markers.  The "hugs" sentiment was cut once in black and 3 times in white and stacked for dimension and adhered to the card.  I used Wink of Stella on the sentiment and flowers for shine.  A few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for sparkle. 





Our Design Team has amazing cards to inspire you.  Check out their blogs for lots of ideas and inspiration.  You won't be disappointed!
