Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge (PPA206)

Our first Color Challenge (PPA206) of June is posted at Pals Paper Arts!  I hope you'll join us this week and create a card using this fun color trio!

 

I used Baked Brown Sugar as my neutral to feature Pacific Point and So Saffron.  They really stand out against Baked Brown Sugar, especially with the addition of Whisper White. This clean and simple birthday card could be altered for any occasion, by simply swapping out the sentiment.  The added strip of designer series paper across the bottom of the card anchors the overall design and provides an extra pop of pattern and fun!  I hope you like the final result as much as I do!

Merry Monday #111

I think you'll find this week's Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge very inspiring!  Take a look at the great inspiration photo below, then get out your supplies and join us this week!  It's never too early to get started on your holiday cards!  

My card is graphic, clean and simple, and I hope you like it as much as I do! It's easy to make a bold statement with repeated stamping of your sentiment in different colors.  It adds instant visual impact to your card and it's a great way to add a balance of color to your overall design!  The sentiment colors are repeated again by using punched snowflakes embellished with colored rhinestones.  Each snowflake is different, adding eye-catching interest to the colorful grouping.

Be sure to visit the Merry Monday blog to see what the rest of the Merry Monday Design Team did with this challenge!  You're going to love their wonderful creations!  Get out your supplies and get started.  I can't wait to see what you create!
