Happy Sunday, peeps! Today Jaydee is hosting our Paper Players challenge, and she has chosen a color challenge:
I love these colors! But they feel fall-ish and I didn’t want to do fall! Then I remembered I had wanted to make one of those “ruffle” cards….you know, with the scalloped DP made to look like ruffles. So here we go:
It’s pretty clean & simple; it didn’t take too long, although had I owned a big scallop border punch or die, it would have taken less time, I’m sure. I used a 1 3/8” circle punch and punched circles of Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze Patterns DP, then layered the pieces along my card to make it look like big scallops!!! The flourish & sentiment are both from Friends 24-7. I just received a pretty card using this set, which reminded me it hadn’t been inked up for a while! (Thanks, Cheryl!) Hope you can play along with us; just check out the Paper Players blog for all the details and the other samples!

ReplyDeleteOkay. This card just MADE ME SCREAM! It's purrrrrrrrfect! You're such a stunning stamper!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for doing ruffles - I'm going to give that a try. Think the Friends 24-7 is a lovely set and your card is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteooh! Love what you did with that stamp set, so simple and so stunning! And the sentiment really is so true. It is what stamping is really about, it is a description of the stamper's heart.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, LeAnne! Very classy! I love how you incorporated the challenge colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, LeAnne! I love the scalloped ruffles. What a great take on the color combo - it looks so fresh and not at all fall-like.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I was gobsmacked when I saw your card. What an amazing way the celebrate this lush colors. Everything is perfect, down to the bakers twine knot in white and crumb cake. Absolute card perfection.
