This week at The Paper Players, our hostess is JayDee. She's given us a bright and summery colour challenge to play with. We had such gorgeous entries last week with Ann's theme challenge, I'm excited to see what everyone does this week.
My first task was to decide which SU colours I'd use. I went for Timid Tiger as my coral, Flirty Flamingo as my pink, Granny Apple Green for my green and Daffodil Delight for my yellow.
For further inspiration, I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and you can still play along there for another day or two.
My current play set is Garden Gatherings because I'm enjoying the mix of leaves, florals and vases to play around with. I'm pairing it up with the very pretty Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP, which I'd overlooked on my first looks through the catalogue. The colours in it are just so pretty!
I started by cutting a piece of the honeycomb DSP, then a smaller piece of Basic White to fit inside it while leaving a wide border to show off the design. I stamped a stem and added some Flirty Flamingo flowers and then some softer Timid Tiger blossoms. I cut a vase from another piece of DSP, making sure to pick a part where there was a mix of the coral and pink colours.
I decided to emboss the background with the Lazy Daisy folder to carry the floral theme through. Then a strip of Flirty Flamingo coloured DSP for the horizontal element.
Then I added the sentiment, stamped onto Flirty Flamingo, cut with a die from Stylish Shapes and popped up on dimensionals.
Finally, I added a trio of yellow dots from Array of Dots, making two of them flower centres.
Update: Delighted to be a Perfect Princess at Freshly Made Sketches.

Your framed floral vase is so pretty Jan; this set reminds me of Varied Vases of old - a favourite for sure. I love the mix of DSP and embossed pattern too; your design blends colour and form beautifully.

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty little bouquet, Jan! I like how you balanced the colors together and you are not helping my resolution to NOT buy every single pack of patterned paper that SU! turns out ; ) Sweet little card and great use of the colors. Have a wonderful week!
