Hi all--it's my turn to host our color challenge at
The Paper Players this week and I think it's a pretty one:
We just returned from a week away visitng family and I made today's card before I left. Looking at it now, I'm not sure I love it but I was in a hurry and couldn't fuss with it. Take a look:
I had the idea to stamp the gorgeous bloom from Definately Dahlia in Mint Macaron and fussy cut them for a dramatic look. I layered them over a Swet Sugarplum print from the Playful Palette DSP stack.
I pulled in some Island Indigo with the large sentiment from the hostess-only set, Time of Year, and coordinated it with a strip of Island Indigo DSP. I fussy cut the sentiment banners from the Time of Year set and added a little bit of retired crochet trim.
This flower is so pretty and was the perfect accent for the inside of my card. The Island Indigo sentiment is from an oldie-but-goodie PTI set called Signature Greetings. Love the handwritten font on this one.
I hope you enjoyed my card today...do check out the rest of the inspiration from our fabulous Design Team at
The Paper Players. I hope you will have a chance to play along with us before the challenge closes on
Friday, July 15th at Noon (PST). Thanks for stopping by!

Clever way to use the Dahlia stamp and I really like how you used the colors. Your card is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used the dahlia stamp here Nance - the fussy cutting and layering works beautifully and this is such an original way to use this stamp. The overstamping of the bold sentiment is also really effective. Great card!
ReplyDeleteNance this card is fabulous! Love your colors and the background DSP really gives dimension to your fussy cut dahlias ... Very nice inside too...as always. Hugs.
