Hello friends! We have a fun new challenge over at the Paper Players starting today. The amazing Joanne is hosting our color challenge week and is asking everyone to use the colors of the rainbow.
You don't have to use an actual rainbow on your card, just be sure it includes all the colors of the rainbow.
For my card, I found some older pattern paper that was a gift with purchase from Honey Bee stamps and it worked beautifully for a rather CAS card.
Isn't that paper glorious? I love the blend of the colors and how the yellow almost looks like the sun peeking out. I was loathe to cut much from the panel so I used a fun stitched edger die, then adhered the panel to the card front.
The vellum butterflies were set them in motion across the "sky" then I added black gems for the bodies. The last element was the die cut sentiment. I used white on black to so it would stand out against the card base. Super simple! Not an actual rainbow but all the colors are there.
This is such a fun challenge, I hope you'll have a chance to join us this week! For more ideas and inspiration, please pop over to the challenge blog and check out the beautiful cards created by the other design team members. The challenge will remain open until Friday March 13th at 3pm EDT. I hope to see you there!
Thanks for stopping by.

Stef, I agree, this paper is gorgeous! It does look like the sun is peeking out. The vellum butterflies and the bold sentiment are just perfect! I love it! Have a great week, My Friend!
Stef, that background is gorgeous. I love the mix of colors and the warmth it exudes. The touch of white and that bold sentiment work beautifully with it. Just gorgeous

That paper is gorgeous and I think you chose a wonderful way to make the most of it! The butterflies look so sweet and delicate on the swirl of colors. Beautiful job with the rainbow colors!
Glorious paper for sure, Stef! It exudes happiness. I absolutely love the array of butterflies. This is a great design with CAS vibes. The bold "hello" is the perfect sentiment. Have a wonderful week!
Wow, this paper was perfect for Joanne's challenge! Your little butterflies are perfect against it!
Oh my, I was sure that you'd worked your blending magic to create this sky for the sweet wee vellum butterflies. What a find in your stash! That bold sentiment balances well with the strong panel. :-)
That paper is definitely too pretty to cover up Stef and those vellum butterflies have an ethereal quality as they fly over the top. I love how you and Jan reversed your take on rainbows too!
