Hello there! This week at
The Paper Players, the lovely and talented
Joanne is our hostess with a fun color trio to create with:
Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and
Pistachio Pudding. I’m going to be honest, ANY color combo that has Strawberry Slush included, is a winner in my book. I think that is my favorite shade of pink right now.
I used a new stamp set from
Paper Smooches called
Twiggy Florets. I just love those fun flowers and the cutie patootie vases. After I colored the images in (using my ink pads and Blender Pens) I felt like they needed a little something more. I added a little spot of Dazzling Diamonds glitter glue to the chevron on one of the vases and then topped the images off with some Crystal Effects for shine. I love using Crystal Effects but I am a terribly impatient person, so waiting for it to dry can drive me bonkers. Ha!
I wanted to keep the card clean and simple (CAS) so instead of adding patterned paper or embossing, I just opted for three little strips of card stock on the background to keep the focus on the fun flowers. I really like how it came out. :)
The challenge will close Friday, April 17th, 2015 at Noon (PST).

ReplyDeleteSuch a cool card, AM! From the glossy, glazed vases to those little strips of cardstock it's all clever and FUN. Great job with these colors. my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card Anne Marie - I love the tall, skinny flower vases and the glitter border and Crystal Effects look great (I'm always too impatient with this stuff too - I just want to touch it!!) I love the triple diagonal stripes too - they really draw the eye to the vases. Thanks for rocking my colour challenge this week!
