We have a new Color Challenge (PPA190) for you this week at Pals Paper Arts, hosted by the PPA Resident Artists of Team 1! Here's the beautiful color palette we're working with!
My clean and simple card features a stamped and punched flower from the Flower Shop set. I love the rhinestone embellished flower against the textured woodgrain background! The pinks are such a great contrast against the gray! A flower needs some greenery, so I added some altered die-cut leaves. To finish things off, a double banner was made from card stock and designer paper to feature the stamped sentiment. This card looks a bit time consuming, but it really came together quickly and easily!
I hope you will get out your paper crafting supplies and join us for this challenge! If you like today's card or you are inspired by my work, please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think! I always love hearing from you!
