This week at The Paper Players, our hostess Claire has a theme challenge for us: to use plaid in our creations. Many thanks to those of you who participated in Christy's sketch challenge last week. We were delighted by the gorgeous entries.
I've taken a subtle approach to plaid for my card. I love the Forever Plaid embossing folder, so that was always going to be utilised for this challenge. I remember there was some funky Pool Party plaid DSP in the Valley in Bloom DSP, so hunted out a piece of that. From those two things, the rest of the project evolved.
Hunting out the Valley in Bloom DSP reminded me that it's been a while since I played around with the Lily of the Valley bundle. So I built up a plant with various stamped images and die cuts. I coloured the flowers with Pool Party Stampin' Blends and added some Wink of Stella to the stamped images.
The finishing touches came from a trio of Pool Party Shimmering Dots.
You can see what the rest of the team have done, and link up your entry, on The Paper Players page.
Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:
- Create a new paper-craft project specifically for this challenge.
- Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
- Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
- Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
- Have fun, and thank you for playing with us!
