Blooming Delight for the Paper Players

Hello friends!  It's time for a new challenge at the Paper Players and this week I am hosting.  It's a color challenge for which I chose peach, light blue and green, plus you're welcome to use any neutrals.


While this trio of colors could be used for many types of designs, like a plaid or a nature/sky scene, I went with florals.


I used the Blooming Delight stamp, stencils and die for the floral image, which is large enough that I opted for an A7 card size.  I used the challenge colors along with neutral brown for the flower centers.  For the panel it is adhered to, Altenew Sea Glass ink was blended at an angle, the attached to a larger mat.  Both panels were die cut with matting dies, so they each have a nice impression around the edges.  

The panels were adhered to the card base, then I decided to add a bit of gold splatter to go with the foiled sentiment.  For the most part, I kept the paint on the white panel because I didn't want to go overboard with it.  When dried, the flower and sentiment were added with a bit of foam tape.


I hope you like this combination of colors and will join us this week!  My teammates have some beautiful inspiration on the blog, so I highly encourage you to go take a peek.  The challenge ends Friday, June 13th at 3pm EDT - I hope to see your card in the gallery!

Thanks for stopping by and take care.
