After last week's Punny Valentine Challenge at The Paper Players, we have an exciting colour challenge for you: three core colours plus one other of your choice.
I had a bit of trouble including a fourth colour but went for using some touches of copper to help accent the sentiment.
I enjoyed using a new set from the Occasions catalogue, Perennial Birthday. Apart from a number of great birthday sentiments, the other stamps in the set are floral bits and bobs to let you build up a garden or bouquet, so I was pleased to see that it could also create a more masculine offering.
After repeat stamping HAPPY BIRTHDAY in the three colours on the background, I made a cluster for the second part of the wording. The sentiment is in Dapper Denim. There's a scalloped circle in Tranquil Tide on a copper foil circle. That's popped up on dimensionals over a pair of Everyday Labels in Eastern Palace DSP. Then there's a bit of copper metallic thread tucked in behind.
At The Paper Players, we'd love to see what you do with these colours. Here's a reminder of the few rules to keep in mind.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, Jan. I love that it is gender neutral and features the fun and trendy repeated sentiment. Copper is the perfect accent color too—great job!
ReplyDeleteJan, I love the touch of copper - and such a fashionable color again. It really does pop with the other colors. I also love your layout and the repetition of the sentiment. Fabulous use of the colors

Love the addition of your copper, Jan!
ReplyDeleteI sort of glossed over this stamp set, but your card made me sit up and take notice of it! I think it has lots of little images that will be fun to put together! I can't wait to see what you make with it next! Great masculine take on the colors too!
ReplyDeleteThe layout is effective here, and I love how the sentiment has become the image. Simplicity rules here!
ReplyDeleteGreat background stamping Jan, and I love the loopy thread and touch of copper!
ReplyDeleteI love repeat sentiment stamping and should do it more often. Wonderfully creative use of the colors and that pop of copper is eye-catching! Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteJan...the repetitive sentiment in the key colors was brilliant. The medallion piece is the perfect additional sentiment...love it all!
ReplyDeleteJan, your repeated stamping is a brilliant way to bring in all the colors in the combo! I love the copper tread and medallion! I hope you are having a wonderful week! XX
ReplyDeleteJan, thanks for your comment on my card. When I saw your card in the gallery I was SO tempted to CASE it LOL. I love the repeat stamping and the addition of copper thread, your cards are always so clever. Cx
ReplyDeleteI love the touch of copper on your card Jan and your design is a great way to showcase this stamp set for less overtly feminine cards. Great layering on your focal point element too. A great card!
