Sending Good Thoughts - PPA297 Color Challenge





Hello and welcome back!  I've been inspired by my fellow Crazy Crafters to take part in the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. It looks like so much fun and love the colour challenge they have this week. The colours are: Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party and designed by Jackie Diediker. The colours resonate with spring and although it's autumn here in the southern hemisphere, I can imagine it being spring hehe. Here is the banner:







Here is my card - Spring inspired floral blooms. 







My card has been created using several Stampin' Up! sets:

• Bloomin' Love & Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies
• Timeless Textures
• Perfect Penants  & Banners Framelits
• Botanical Builder Framelits Dies


Timeless Textures
The card stock is pool party and have been stamped with the texture from Timeless Textures in pool party. It has a linen texture about it and gives an interest in the background with the tone on tone stamping.

Bloomin' Love & Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies
The flowers are from the Bloomin' Love set and have been stamped with the three colors from the challenge on whisper white and have been die cut with the coordinating thinlit dies. 
The Bloomin' Love set has two kinds of flowers available - filled and and outlined and have used them accordingly for a variety.

Botanical Builder Framelits Dies
The little leaves are the off cuts from the Botanical Builder Framelits dies, using the arched vine shape in Pool Party cardstock. I have added them on to complete the floral look and give them some dimension.

Perfect Penants & Banners Framelits
The sentiment: "Sending Good Thoughts Your Way" is from Perfect Pennants and have been die cut using the coordinating banner framelit dies. I have also added height and thickness by die cutting additional banners in the same size from coaster board. It sets off the banner and makes it almost pop out.

Inside Card
I have brought the same elements on the inside of the card and simplified it by just decorating the bottom section. The hello sentiment is from Perfect Pairings and have used additional coaster board to make the sentiment and banner pop in height.







 

It's sad that the Perfect Pennant stamp set is retiring on 31st May. So be sure to grab this great set before it's gone forever. I hope my card has inspired you to create something fun and play with your stamp sets to create a similar look. For more colour inspirations please take a look at the Pals Paper Arts creative projects using this colour combinations from so many talented cardmakers. Hopefully you can join in too and share your creativity.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope to see you again soon. Cheers! :)
