Hello friends, so glad you are here and I hope you are continuing to stay safe and healthy! It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players where the fabulous LeAnne is hosting our monthly Color Challenge!
Aren't those some lovely colors? I really like them together but I have to admit I struggled a lot to find the right design that I found pleasing. After much trial and error (read lots in the recycling bin), I pulled out my favorite floral stamp set from Altenew and here's what I came up with:
The flower and leaves were stamped on white card and colored with Copic markers. There really isn't a perfect match for So Saffron in the Copic color family so I got as close as I could. After coloring, the images where die cut with companion dies and set aside.
For the background, an oval was lightly ink blended with Faded Jeans Distress Ink through a stencil, then the panel trimmed down and adhered to the Seaside Spray card base. I used tape runner to adhere the leaves to the edge of the oval except for the end leaf which was popped up with a piece of foam tape for some nice dimension. Next the flower and sentiment were added with foam tape as well, then a few clear sequins finished things off. In the end I really love the soft colors and simple design (really happy I thought to use the oval stencil LOL!).
Thanks so much for visiting, I really appreciate it. Be sure to use the link above to check out the wonderful creations by the other DT members and hopefully join us this week!
