Paper Players 467 Holiday Cheer

 

Hi stampers!  Happy Sunday!  Claire is our hostess at the Paper Players this week with a fabulous color challenge..bright and cheerful!  Here you go:

 

At first glance, I panicked a little when I saw the colors---PURPLE!!  But I put on my thinking cap and came up with this:

I used the CAS(E) this Sketch sketch:

and began my making my own "DSP" by stamping some snowflakes in all three colors on a piece of white cardstock.  It looked a little plain, so I did some sponging around the edges for more definition, which looked much better!  I created some sentiments using Concord & 9th dies, layering the "cheer" with three layers of Granny Apple Green cardstock, as well as backing the "holiday" with a wee little strip of Bermuda Bay foil:

I remembered that I had some Bermuda Bay glimmer paper from a couple of years back, so I used that to diecut a snowflake, and added a rhinestone colored with a purple Copic:

My trend lately has been to use non-traditional colors to make a Christmas card, and this one fits that bill as well, but I like it!  I hope you'll play along with these colors as well...you don't have to make a Christmas card, you can use them for whatever you want!  Check out what the DT did as well as the Paper Players blog!

And I just happened to notice this stained glass heart that's hanging in the window in Cassidy's room; it was made by my SIL, and it has the exact same colors as Claire's challenge!  So pretty! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
