Happy Sunday, everyone, and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, stepmoms and pet moms out there! Celebrations will be a wee bit different this year, for sure! But we will make do!
Claire is our Paper Players hostess and she has chosen a bright, vivid color palette for this week's challenge:
Such happy cheerful colors! I had to think on them a while, but finally came up with a clean graphic design; it's not a CAS challenge, but I thought the colors would look good just the way the were:
You might recognize the sketch from Cas(e) This Sketch:
I've been sorting and organizing all my stamp sets this week, and when I saw the retired Banner Blessings had this verse from Philippians, I knew I wanted to incorporate it into the star in the sketch!
I cut a star using a die my sweet friend Debbie gave me, then stamped and fussy-cut the verse out of matching Melon Mambo ink. I embossed the card with a star EF, added some stitched layers top and bottom, and it was done!
These colors can be used for an array of occasions, and I hope you'll play along with us! Be sure to stop by the Paper Players blog to see what the design team came up with! Thanks for popping in today!
