This week, The Paper Players has a COLOR CHALLENGE to try! I couldn't resist playing along!
I loved the colors and immediately thought of my new Field Flowers stamp set. This is SUCH an easy two-step stamping set to use! It seems to always make great looking cards! No coloring either…my favorite kind! lol!
I started with the base of Rich Razzleberry. I added some Old Olive print from Paisley Prints Designer Paper, layered on Old Olive cardstock for the bottom background. I decided to do some angled panels of Old Olive and Basic Gray, layered under the Whisper White focal element. I stamped the stems in Old Olive and the tops with a stamped-off base flower, then darker outline on top. I stamped the centers again with Old Olive ink.
I wrapped the Old Olive Dotted Scallop Ribbon around and tied a knot. I added the greeting stamped in Basic Gray on Old Olive and then used my Decorative Label Punch…yep…I put it back in the punch after I first punched it and made it a smaller sized label! Cool trick, huh? My customers loved it last month! I added a couple Pearls for some bling along the side. I think this will be my daughter-in-law's birthday card…now just to find a gift! lol!
Don't forget to check out Create with Connie and Mary and our Guest Designer Announcement today!!!
Love it!!! Thanks for the tip on another way to use the DL punch, too!
So pretty! I love your two step stamping and you incorporated the colors fabulously. Love the little punch, its a great trick. Thanks for having fun with The Paper Players this week.
What a stunning card! Your use of the punch to make the little label ROCKS!
Connie, what a beautiful take on the color combo. I love all of the Olive Green and that DSP. It all ties together so nicely. The lighter centers on the flowers also add a nice soft touch. Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players this week!
Beautiful card Connie–this stamps set is perfect for my colors this week! Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players!
