Happy Sunday and welcome back to another Paper Players challenge! Today Anne Marie is our hostess and she has chosen a bright, cheerful color palette to inspire us:
And here is my cheerful card, using the Reason to Smile set available this month:
This is also for the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge 60, which is to use text; my text came from the set Blessings from Heaven; I cut apart the “friend” sentiment and using my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig, stamped it in all the challenge colors:
I used the Fancy Fan embossing folder for my card base---I love that it is big enough to do this! The daisy was stamped on some Patterns Daffodil Delight paper and fussy-cut; the leaves are from Floral District DP. I stamped the sentiment from Petite Pairs and popped it up, then finished it on the inside with some more stamping, stamping, stamping, as my special friend would say:
Nothing like a sliding board on a warm summer day!
Great card - the bright and vibrant colours just zing out. Love the embossed background. Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteThis is darling, LeAnne! LOVE how you used those colors, and the flower stamped on the polka dots is perfect!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this is gorgeous! I love that embossed background. Your FRIEND background turned out beautifully too! The stamping on a angle gives such a nice touch!!!

ReplyDeleteWow love this card LeAnne, it is so summery and that embossed background is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou dove into those colours fabulously, Leanne :) Love that EF and the multi coloured "friend" sentimane panel.
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright and cheerful card! That stamped background panel looks amazing - I'm very impressed by how you've lined up the 'friend' stamp so well!
ReplyDeleteIt's so perfect. I think that the way you coordinated the daisy center, stem and leaves is what makes this card work so well.
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous LeAnne, Love that flower stamped on the DSP and I LOVE how you did the "friend" on your BG!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous job combining three challenges into one gorgeeous card! I love this stamp set and the colors you used. Great inspiration, LeAnne!

ReplyDeleteOh what a great idea to get the colors all used. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteSliding into water is what she needs with the hot weather I am sure you are having. Our broke today. It isn't like walking into an oven but we have not had rain and there is non coming. It is so dry here everything is brown. Very different for us.
That's some impressive Stamp-a-ma-jigging! :) Very fun card!
ReplyDeleteHow clever to stamp the flower on dsp. It looks great! What meticulous work stamping "friend."
ReplyDeleteLeAnne Love this happy flower and the angled sentiment in all the colors is clever and Fabulous! Love that.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
Gorgeous, LeAnne! I love how you stamped the word "Friend" multiple times! Any friend would love to receive this card!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable picture of Cassidy. Sweet days of summer.......ahhh.....looks like she is loving them.
ReplyDeleteYour card today is gorgeous - love how you tackled this colour challenge! It is truly a summery card too. I love the "Friend" background you created - wow did you ever do a wonderful job on that. Love the beautiful flower too.
Fabulous card!! Love the bright colors and especially how you repeat stamped "friend" to make your text piece! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card - love the textures. You ROCK with the stamp-a-ma-jig. That took a lot to change colors and to do it at that angle!
