Impressions Abloom for The Paper Players 755

 Hello everyone! Welcome to a new week at The Paper Players. Thank you for the lovely entries in Ann's Food and Drink themed challenge. Our hostess this week is LeAnne and she has a colour challenge for us.



I decided to break out the Impressions Abloom bundle for this one as I had in mind a softly coloured floral card and the die cuts in this bundle are gorgeous. I cut a white flower in each of the three sizes, some Lemon Lolly centres, some Soft Sea Foam leaves and some tiny Lemon Lolly flowers.


On the Basic White card front, I sponged some Soft Sea Foam with a blending brush. Then I did some fine splatters of diluted Lost Lagoon ink before embossing the front with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I curled one corner and added in some Lemon Lolly behind it.


The sentiment is stamped in Lost Lagoon and cut with a banner die from Stylish Shapes. I added some Iridescent Pearls to the centres of the tiny Lemon Lolly flowers, plus a couple more.

It mightn't have turned out quite as I'd imagined but pretty close. 😀

What will you do with LeAnne's colours? You can see what the rest of the team have done and link up your entry on The Paper Players page.

    Your die cut daisies are delightful, Jan! They look amazing on the textured background and I love the soft hint of color on that layer.
