PPA137 Sketch Challenge

We have a Sketch Challenge (PPA137) at Pals Paper Arts for you to try this week!  I designed this sketch using two circles that can be used to feature focal images, embellishments, or sentiments!  The possibilities are endless!  For my get well card, I was inspired by the circle flower design found on the Summer Smooches DSP.  Flower stems were hand-cut and punches were used to create the flowers and leaves.  I love the summery mix of Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Lucky Limeade together!  A happy combo indeed!

Play along with us a PPA!  You may use any brand of papercrafting supplies to create your card!  For more inspiring ideas, see what my fellow PPA Design Team did with the sketch!  Get out your supplies and join the fun!  I can't wait to see what you create!

PPA136 Color Challenge

It's Thursday and time for another Color Challenge (PPA136) at Pals Paper Arts!  This week we're challenging you to use the versatile color combo of Real Red, Night of Navy and Whisper White!  This trio would work for so many different types of cards, especially Father's Day or Fourth of July.

My patriotic card was made with no particular event in mind, but it would easily make a fun invitation for a Fourth of July party or also work as a birthday card for any age or gender! 

Join the fun at PPA and play along!  You may use any brand of papercrafting products or supplies for your card!  Need more inspiration?  See how my fellow PPA Design Team members used these colors by clicking here!  I can't wait to see what you create!
