Happy Sunday, everyone! The Paper Players' challenge this week is from our hostess Jaydee, and she has a color challenge for us! Her prompt uses bold, bright colors, but I think you can use any shades of these:
I did choose to use the bright colors of Daffodil Delight, Bubble Bath and Granny Apple Green for my card, but in mostly small amounts! Here we go:
I stamped the images and sentiment from Courage and Faith in Versafine Black, then colored the images with markers. I did manage to get some blending in there...Blends bleed with Versafine, so I used regular markers in Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Bubble Bath and Berry Burst for the flowers, and Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves:
I diecut it with a circle die, added a little Adhesive-Backed flower, then mounted it on a Daffodil Delight panel that was embossed with the retired Framed Tulips embossing folder. A little bit of black & white gingham ribbon reinforced the black and white outlines! Unfortunately, I needed a third sympathy card this week, so this will be popped in the mail for that!
I hope these colors inspire you to create something bright and fresh, or use softer hues to create whatever you want! Check out what the DT created at the
Paper Players blog to get some more inspiration!
I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of a wasp's nest that had been hanging in our maple tree over the summer! Blessedly, we didn't have to mow under this particular tree as it is so shady, no grass grows under it! It finally deteriorated enough to fall down and John found it in the year. The outer sections (which are falling off) sheathe the inner combs....pretty fascinating!
You just don't want to get near it when those wasps are alive, LOL! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
