Hello, stamping friends! Time for a new Paper Players challenge, and this week, Ann is our lovely hostess with an interesting color challenge:
I will admit that at first glance, this challenge had me stumped! But as I was going through some of my older stamps, I remembered this outline feather from Papertrey, and I thought it would be a perfect element! Here we go:
I used the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches:
To begin, I placed the stamp in my stamp positioner, then stamped it with Pretty Peacock ink on a card base of Thick Basic White. After cleaning the stamp well, I inked it again with Versamark ink and stamped right on top of the Peacock ink. I heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder, which made it really easy to watercolor in those open areas with Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia and a washed-out shade of Pretty Peacock inks using an aquapainter:
I managed to find some sequins in my stash that pretty much matched my colors. A simple, fun sentiment from the same set finished it off!
What do these colors make you think about? Flowers? Geometric elements? Feathers? LOL! I hope you'll check out what the DT created over at the Paper Players blog, then share your creativity with us as well! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, your feather tickles me pink [and green and yellow!]

I love how you did this. I rarely do watercoloring. I have all the tools but they sit in a drawer with all my chalks that I never use! Have a blessed Sunday.
Oh, LeAnne! Feathers are one of my favorite images, and this one is fabulous! I LOVE the simplicity of this card and how you incorporated the challenge colors into the feather design. The bits of bling are the perfect accents. Thank you for designing this beautiful card for my color challenge. Have a wonderful week!
LeAnne... love the Zentangle-like feather! Must have been fun to color. I know Papertrey has a number of stamps like your feather... they are just so fun.
Wow, what a pretty feather! I love the colors you chose!

The perfect little CAS card! That feather holds those colors well!
What a pretty CAS card this is! Love the way you've embossed the outline then added watercolours to fill it. Lovely technique and lovely card.... and those colours stumped me too!
LeAnne, this is a fabulous way to showcase the color combo. This feather is whimsical and fun. I love that you heat embossed it in clear to make it easier to color. Great idea! This card is CAS perfection!
