Hiya friends! Here it is...the last
Paper Players challenge of 2017. The fabulous Claire is our hostess with a fun and festive color challenge:
These colors screamed vintage to me and the [retired] Festival of Trees stamp set was just the bold and graphic look I was going for:
It took me a few tries on scrap paper but I finally got the pattern I was after. I stamped alternating trees in Powder Pink, Garden Green and Lemon Lime Twist with accents of Melon Mambo and [more] Garden Green. These little triangle trees are easy to line up--no MISTI or Stamp-a-ma-Jig needed! The layout at
Freshly Made Sketches gave me the perfect way to highlight my stamped panel. I just added a little bit of gold glitter washi tape to the border for some sparkle.
A few more trees on the inside and a fun combination of sentiments from Petite Pairs made quick work of the inside and this card was done! I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at
The Paper Players. Not only is this our last challenge of 2017, it's also the last challenge with our fabulous Guest Designer, Deanne. I am going to miss her bright and happy creations but I hope to see her playing along with us in the gallery. Thank you, Deanne, for giving us a whole year of your creativity and inspiration! I hope you will find a little time to play along with us before our challenge ends on
Friday, December 15th at Noon (PST). Thanks for stopping by!

Very retro color card. I'm impressed I didn't realize you had stamped the paper I thought it was a designer paper, very well done. Love the little trees on the inside as well, very nice sentiment too.
