Welcome to a new week at The Paper Players. I was delighted to see the many interesting bits and pieces that people recycled or repurposed in their projects for my 'Recycling in In' challenge. This week, Stef has a sweet colour challenge for us.
I was keen to try out the new soft blue from Stampin' Up!, Cloud Cover for this challenge. Sadly, Stampin' Up! had some difficulties with the quality of the ink pad for this colour. I have an ink pad in Cloud Cover and was happy to use it as it looked perfect. I was sorry to see that in the photos, it does look more grey than blue. In real life, it was an exact match for the card base and DSP.
The DSP is from the 2025-2027 In Color 6x6 stack. Lovely pattern, isn't it? There's a stack for every colour family.
The embossed background is the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and the sentiment is from The Right Words. The sentiment label is from Stylish Shapes - my most used die set.
It will be fun seeing the different ways that people use these colours over the next week.

What a lovely card, Jan! Such a classic design, with the design elements on one side, leaving plenty of white space on the other. The flowers are really sweet, and I was also taken by the design on the dsp. It all works together so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers look so fresh in the blue and white Jan and the combination of DSP and embossed panel is just lovely. I love the font of the sentiment too; I think that set might have to be on my next purchase!
ReplyDeleteJan... so much to love about this sweet card! I find it interesting that the ink color does look gray in the pics but is still really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJan, this is so pretty! I love the embossed background and the beautiful DSP is perfect! Such a lovely summer card!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how the Cloud Cover matches, because it IS such a very pretty blue! Love your flowers and that background DSP is a perfect accompaniment for them!
ReplyDeleteAbsoluty gorgeous card 🤩💐 happy day
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and lovely, Jan! The designer paper allows the beauty of the die cut flowers to come to the forefront. Cloud Cover is a gorgeous shade of blue. This is a great layout. I love the embossing.
ReplyDeleteJan, this is gorgeous. I love that embossed background (one of my all-time favorites) and the papers you chose are gorgeous. I hadn't seen cloud cover - but I love it! Fabulous card.
