A good monday morning to you all. I hope that everyone had a nice Easter. Mine was great. I got to spend time with my daughter, brother and his fiancé. We have an idea for the wedding invitations and I am going to put something together this week. I also got to craft a lot this weekend which makes me very happy! Today’s post is for this weeks Paper Players Challenge. This week they have given us a color challenge using Not Quite Navy, Pool Party and Certainly Celery…
I decided to use a one of my more recently acquired sets the Elements of Style. I started with a base of Pool Party cut so that it opens from the bottom. I added a piece of Certainly Celery on top of that. I stamped the large image from the Elements of Style Stamp Set in Not Quite Navy on Very Vanilla and placed that on top. Using my Big Shot and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit I cut out some butterflies in Pool Party and Certainly Celery and used Stampin’ Dimensionals cut up to adhere them randomly over the stamped image. The greeting is also stamped in Not Quite Navy and punched out with the Large Oval Punch and backed with a piece of Not Quite Navy Card Stock punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch. I love the colors and the simplicity of the card and hope that you enjoy it too. Thank you, as always, for dropping in. Have a great day!
