Hi stampers! Time for a new Paper Players challenge with Claire as our hostess! She has a brilliant color challenge for us, and I will admit that it WAS a challenge for me! Here is her color palette:
Shades of purple are always a challenge for me! I began by choosing some DSP in the challenge colors, but I used all the same patterns so they would coordinate a bit. I borrowed a sketch from Mary Fish
and off I went:
This little floral pattern is my favorite from the DSPs this year! I did some layering, added a Basic White tag on which I stamped some florals from Simply Fabulous, popping up the largest Orchid Oasis one:
and then embellished my tag with some Glittered Organdy ribbon and some baker's twine from my stash. I diecut a "hello" from a retired die, mounting the cardstock on an adhesive sheet so it would really stand out. Of course, running it through my Big Shot made those little holes on the die really pop out, but I guess you could call it a decoration! It matched the matte dots I added, I guess!
I hope you'll accept this challenge and play with our colors this week! Be sure to stop by the Paper Players blog to see all the lovely creations our DT has come up with! Thanks so much for popping by, enjoy your day and be blessed!

Super cute, LeAnne! Love how you incorporated the colors into the sketch and added the tag with the flowers on! The diecut "hello" is the perfect addition to keeping things with the challenge colors! You nailed this one! Well done! Have a great day & stay warm! Burrr!
I can see how these colors would be challenging, LeAnne, but you pulled it off beautifully! A very sweet little Hello!

Pretty card! The colors do look lovely together.
LeAnne, this is gorgeous! I love the DSP in the colors! That polka dot sentiment is just fabulous, too! This is the happiest card. Thank you for making my colors shine this week! Have a great week, My Friend!
So bright and pretty!
I love the co-ordination of those floral panels and that little tag compliments them perfectly! Such a fresh card!
Wow, LeAnne! What a wonderful mix of the challenge colors! I love the combination of the tag, circle and rectangle. It's a fabulous layout. The sentiment die cut is bold and perfect. Who wouldn't love to receive this beauty!
Hello, Leanne! I really like this bright and happy card. The combination of 3 different colorways of the same printed paper is effective and very successful. Xoxo, Fran
