PP719 Color Challenge from Ann

 Happy Sunday, stampers! Today is our last Paper Players challenge of the year, with Ann as our hostess, and she has a wonderful color palette for us:


What a great way to end our holiday stamping, right?!  I just had to go with the retired Poinsettia Petals set, embossed in gold, with some Pretty Peacock accents:

I remembered some gold-printed DSP from waaaay back so I pulled that out for a background panel, and I also used the retired Pine Bough embossing folder as well:


The sentiment is from the same poinsettia set, but I mounted it on a banner from the Peaceful Season set, and added some gold pearls for accent.  The inside sentiment is from Greetings of the Season:


Of course, I had another idea in mind, so I made a second card, similar layout, using the Christmas Labels set and a diecut bell:


And a little sentiment from Lil'Inkers, which is where the bell is from as well, for in the inside:


I hope you'll come play along with our last challenge of the season, and share your color-filled creation wtih us at the Paper Players! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

LeAnne, these are both fabulous! I absolutely love the poinsettia with the DSP and embossed background. The banner behind the sentiment adds so much detail. The shiny bell and run bow is so festive, too. You certainly made these colors shine! Have a great week, My Friend!

Beautiful cards, LeAnne! Poinsettia Petals is one of my favorite sets. It is gorgeous embossed in gold. I love how you mounted the sentiment on the banner. The gold printed paper is the perfect backdrop for both the poinsettia and the bell on the second card. You truly made my challenge colors shine! Happy holidays!

LeAnne, I love this combination of colors, and your cards are just gorgeous! Did you write/print your own background paper?

Two pretty cards, LeAnne! The gold print paper was a wonderful accent on both cards and I like the loopy bow on your big festive jingle bell!

I love both of these LeAnne - the first one especially! That poinsettia is magnificent and I love the hint of pine embossing too. Gorgeous!
