Hiya, friends. It's Paper Player Sunday and I'll get to that in just a minute. First, I'd like to take a moment, on this day, to remember the tragedy that befell our country ten years ago and honor the memory of those that were lost.
...Thank you...
This week I am delighted to host The Paper Players color challenge and have chosen a warm and rich color palette for you:
Pretty, yes? And the card I designed using these colors:

I couldn't resist going Halloween and just had to ink up my new Out on a Limb set...oh how I love that kitty cat!
in Rich Razzleberry even! The background was sponged with Basic Gray and a scallop circle to create a swirling, cloudy night-time sky. The Basic Gray bats are from last year's Wicked Cool but all the other components are from Out on a Limb. Isn't the crescent moon cool?! I punched a circle from Silver Shimmer Paper and then moved the circle over slightly to create the crescent shape.
And I had more fun on the inside with a spooky sponged sky, some Old Olive bats and another kitty perched on a sentiment from Grateful Greetings.
I hope today's color challenge card inspires you to play along with us. Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team inspiration over at The Paper Players where you will find some gorgeous eye candy. If you play along with us, be sure to link up your creation at The Paper Players by Friday, September 16th at midnight (PST). I can't wait to see what you do with these colors...thanks for stopping by!

Oops forgot to mention the moon, how clever, just the right about of bling!
ReplyDeleteThis is completely fabulous for Halloween. LOVE the glittered moon and kitty. You've created such a wonderful little scene!
ReplyDeleteThat kitty image is too cute and I love how you put her on the branch. Sparkly moon is fabulous as is the embossed BG and card. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cat...ESPECIALLY in Rich Razzleberry! Such a cute creation and the sparkly moon looks fab!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This is AWESOME. Your detailed "clouding" is incredible! Really great card for these colors. So well done!
ReplyDeleteOh, forgot to say that I love the post title, too!
ReplyDeleteNance, thanks for the great colors to work with this week. I love your card; anything with a cat is super in my book. :) I love the glitter paper used as a moon! Very cool touch.
ReplyDeleteA razzleberry cat and green bats - only you could make that work and work beautifully! Very cool Halloween card - and I adore the silvery glittery moon!
ReplyDeleteEverything about this card just makes me SMILE! What a cute, clever idea. Nothing jumped out at me when I saw this set, but seeing that cat on the limb....ingenious!
ReplyDeleteNance, you sure rocked this color combo! Love this card. The spiderweb is the perfect backdrop for all of your fun details. The clouds add a little subtle detailing and that sparkly moon adds the perfect contrast. It all works so perfectly together!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful Halloween card! You sure put those colors to good use!! Love the shimmering moon and your sweet kitty!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. The kitty is enjoying life "by the light of the silvery moon".
ReplyDeleteNance, this colour combo is stupendous! It's amazing how rich some of the cards in the challenge are because of how the elements are put together! Now - your card - aaaaaa - I love your sponged sky! Both your sky and moon are perfect! And of course, the inside of your card could just as well be the outside! Fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteNance, How thoughtful to mention the rememberance of those lost 10 years ago. So tragic for so many.
ReplyDeleteFor the challenge: Great colors for a challenge, and I hope to play along.
Your kitty card is too "Purrrrr-fect"! Love the spooky sky and the cresent moon is fantastic. (thanks for the cool tip on making one too). So clever. I absolutely LOVE how you perched the kitty on the inside sentiment. Love the whole thing.
Hugs.
Look at you, our challenge "hostess-with-the-mostest". That cute kitty is scaring up the fun in that super-scene you created! AH-DOR-A-BLE! That sparkly moon was the perfect touch, too. Paired up with that spooky spider-web backgrond...I LOVE it!! The decorated inside is a great touch. (hugs!)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool - I love that shimmery moon!
ReplyDeleteNance, as always you amaze me with your creativity. That card is too darn cute. I love the sparkly moon and all that texture. So cool. The cat is such a great set .r5555 <- See that type right there? That was my little black cat walking across my keyboard. I think she likes your card too and wanted to comment:) I love your interior as much as the exterior and how you positioned the cat on the text. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOh Nance, I love that title, and your card with the cat is so cute. I love all of the added details that you added to make this card fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is just absolutely adorable, Nance! You just can't beat a glittery moon!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your little scenery....great job!
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous Halloween card, Nance! Love seeing so many fun things on your blog! Have a wonderful Sunday!
