Happy Sunday, peeps! Wow, I haven't posted in several days--it was just one of those weeks, you know? The creative Stef is our Paper Players hostess this week with a cute color palette for us:
Initially I thought "Easter" for these colors, but I already had all my Easter cards finished! I recently got a little freebie die in my Simon Says Stamp order and it was still laying on my desk, so I thought I'd put it to use! I pulled out some Highland Heather DSP, some Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Pool Party cardstocks and went to work:
I used an Adhesive sheet behind the outline portion of the die to make it easier to stick down, then just filled in the balloon with the cardstocks in the challenge colors.
I did add a Basic Black mat beneath my scalloped panel, added a black and white gingham bow and a little black and white sentiment from Label Me Bold:
Best Year provided the inside sentiment, stamped in Granny Apple Green:
I hope you'll play along with our fun colors this week! You can still go Easter, or baby, or floral, or anything! Just be sure to share it with us over at the Paper Players blog! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

This is so pretty, LeAnne! Love these colors and what you did with them! Great birthday card with some cute balloon dies, too! Great job on the challenge! Happy Sunday! :)
Delightful colors for any birthday, LeAnne! You know that gingham ribbon made me smile!

This is so fun! I love the purple and white background. Polka dots are always the best! The balloons are so cute and the gingham bow adds so much detail. The black panel makes the whole card pop! Have a great week, My Friend!
Very cute little card, LeAnne! I agree with your thoughts on the colors, totally Easter-ish. However, you made it work with your birthday card. Nice die, too!!
This is a cute way to say happy birthday!
OOH! Those inlaid balloons are fabulous! They're perfect for a birthday and look like you could whip up something quite quickly with them - what a great freebie to get!
LeAnne, these colors work so well for your sweet birthday card! Love the dsp design and the gingham ribbon that add so much interest. I have that ballon die as well and you've inspired me to put it to use.
What a sweet birthday card, LeAnne! The inset balloon die is awesome. I could see me using it often. The black really makes the challenge colors "pop". Your gingham bow is so perfect! Have a wonderful week!
I know that die... you ordered something from Simon Says. Such a cute use of the die!
Delightfully CUTE card, LeAnne!
I love the bright colors on the balloons
Love that fun balloon die LeAnne - so great for lots of cards! Can't beat a gingham bow to finish too!
Fun card congrats 😊💐 happy day
LeAnne, I love the black mat behind the scalloped area. It really makes all the colors really pop. Fabulous use of the free die, too. Adding different colored inserts to the outline was a great way to incorporate the colors. Love it!
