Charming Bouquet for the Paper Players

Hello friends!  This week at the Paper Players, the lovely Ann is hosting our color challenge and has chosen a delightful combination.

Paper Players

With these gorgeous colors, I couldn't do anything but a floral *wink* but I did step out of my usual A2 card and created a gatefold.

The gatefold card base was made months ago (dare I say over a year ago?) for an unfinished project, and I was happy to finally put it to use.  The card is 5" square with embossed panels of 2.5" each on either flap.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Petal-Tipped Labels to create layers for my floral image and sentiment.

The stamp was a gift from Altenew but any small/mini set would work for this.  It didn't come with a die, so when the Copic coloring was complete, I fussy cut it and used thin foam tape to add it to the petal label die cut. After adding the sentiment, the entire thing was adhered to just the left side of the front. I added a panel to the inside that was stamped in pale purple-pink, with the floral image going off the upper left hand corner. The last step was to add a few gems.

This is such a pretty color combination, I look for to seeing what everyone creates.  I hope your card will be in the gallery, which will remain open until Friday July 18th at 3pm EDT.  Before you head out, I encourage you to visit the challenge (linked above) and see all the beautiful inspiration from my talented teammates!

Thanks for visiting and take care!
