Paper Players 253

Happy Sunday, peeps!  It’s time for another Paper Players challenge, and Jaydee is our hostess this week with a gorgeous color combo!  It’s so soft and pretty…what do you think?

I incorporated it with a new (to me) sketch challenge at TGIF challenges:

and my favorite set from this year’s catalog, Awesomely Artistic:

Even though it seems like there is a lot going on here, it was pretty simple to put together.  I stamped the images on my tag; I stamped and colored a butterfly from Papillion Potpourri and punched it out, adding some pearls for glam; heat embossed a sentiment from Six-Sided Sampler in silver and stamped some grunge on the Sahara Sand card base with Sahara Sand ink. I dyed some white seam binding with Smoky Slate ink and crumple-dried it in the microwave, then added a doily and some gathered Mint Macaron lace, and for the final touch, cut a couple of little banners from glassine paper and Smoky Slate cardstock, then some hearts from Brushed Silver and Shimmery white.

I would never have thought to put the neutrals of Sahara Sand and Smoky Slate together, but I love it!  I hope you love it too and will share what you create with us at the Paper Players blog!  Meanwhile, check out the other gorgeous creations from the PP team:
