PP720 Color Challenge from Elizabeth

Happy Sunday, peeps! The Paper Players are back from the holiday break, with Elizabeth as our first hostess of 2025! She's chosen a fun, bright color combo for us today:


My niece is expecting a little girl next week, so I thought I'd use these colors to make a cute congrats card for her:


My colors are a little muted but I thought for a baby card, these ginghams would be a great match!  I diecut each color with a postage stamp die from Waffleflower and topped them with these images from Little Cuties (retired):


I mounted them on a piece of embossed Basic White to look like a quilt, then added the "blessed"from Paper Sweeties.  I did add a couple little sequins for fun!  The inside sentiment is an older from Papertrey:

I am also entering this at Inkspirational, where the challenge this week is Pretty Quilts.  I hope the embossed "quilt top" is sufficient!

I hope you'll get back into the crafting swing of things by playing with our first color challenge of 2025!  Check out what the Design Team crafted over at the Paper Players blog to get some inspiration! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
