Hello friends! Today we have a fun new challenge at The Paper Players. The amazing Claire is hosting our CAS challenge and is asking us to use fruit on our cards.
I decided to make a very vibrant card to share, which seemed fitting for summertime.
The glass and fruit were all foiled in gold using a pressplate, colored with Copic and Olo markers then die cut with the coordinating die. The stamp set and pressplate create all the images at once and then there is only one die to cut it all out, which I love since it's all done in one pass.
After I had all the elements colored, I ink blended the front of a white card base with super vibrant colors, then let that dry as I gold heat embossed the Cheers sentiment and stamped out the sub sentiment. When I started to assemble the card, it just seemed to need a bit something more, so I added the foiled and die cut frame directly to the edge of the card, then added everything else. Some things were adhered directly to the card front and some elevated with a bit of foam tape, but I made sure to leave lots of "white" space. I love the bright colors and the festive, fruity elements!
Thanks for taking time to stop by and I hope that you'll join us this week! My talented teammates have some amazing inspiration for you over on the challenge blog, so please be sure to stop by and take a look.
Take care!

Stef, you made me smile with this amazing card! The vibrant background is soooo beautiful. This drink looks so refreshing and your fruits just add so much detail. Your coloring is always so fabulous! I want to color with you! Thank you for making my challenge shine this week!
Stef! WOW. Your ink blending is beautiful... and that itty bitty outside border is so fun! Your card just pops!
Stef, you never cease to amaze me with your blended backgrounds. What a perfect backdrop for the fruit and glass of cold fruity drink! The layout really shows off the fruit. Another Stef Perry Masterpeice! Have a great week!
Your background is wonderful Stef and I love that fun loopy frame! Pretty card!
The combination of the beautifully blended sunset background and the fruity cocktail took me straight back to a Tahitian beach evening. Delightful!
Such vibrant colours looks like a beautiful sunset and paired with that mouthwatering cocktail it's a perfect take on the theme and a fabulous r4elaxing scene. I can just imagine myself sitting on a beach happily sipping away.
