PPA131 Sketch Challenge

We have a new Sketch Challenge (PPA131) at Pals Paper Arts this week using a versatile sketch I designed just for you!  This sketch lends itself to so many possibilities and I hope you'll find it one you'll use over and over again! 

I love yellow and I paired it here with Pool Party, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, and Poppy Parade to create my Spring-themed thank you card!  The featured flowers were made using several different punches and decorative brads.  Faux stitching was added to highlight the patterned papers and dimensional leaves.  This bright and cheery card just sings happiness!  I hope you like it as much as I do!  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

See what my fellow PPA Design Team members did with the sketch by clicking here.  Then gather your supplies and play along at PPA!   Use any of your favorite papercrafting products or supplies to play!  I can't wait to see what you create!

PPA130 Color Challenge

It's time for another challenge at Pals Paper Arts and we have a Color Challenge (PPA130) for you with a bit of a twist!  Use Lucky Limeade, Always Artichoke, and a color of your choice to create your own color combo!   I added Perfect Plum as my color choice to create a Springtime color trio for my card.  This color trio also happens to be my oldest daughter's favorite colors, so that made them fun for me to work with (Hi, Kitty)!  Stampin' Write Markers were used to add all three colors to the floral image from the Fresh Vintage SAB set.  By adding a mix of patterned papers in polka dots and stripes, it creates what I call a "modern vintage" look!  Clean, contemporary, and easy on the eyes!  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Need a little nudge to join the fun at PPA?  See what color each of the PPA Design Team members added to create their color trio by clicking here!  Remember, you can use any brand of products or supplies to play along!  So gather your supplies and get busy!  I can't wait to see what you create!
