Paper Players: Happy Spring

Here we are at Sunday again already and that means a new Paper Players challenge!


It took me a while to decide what to make for today's challenge, there was so much to be inspired by with the challenge graphic!  In the end, I pulled colors from the two pics on the left, and chose to stamp a tulip because of the pic on the top right, and here's what I made:


The patterned paper was a scrap left over from a previous project, so I designed my card around it.  I decided to showcase just one grand purple tulip and must admit I've been a little obsessed with embossing my sentiments in white on colored cardstock of late :)  I love the crocuses in the inspiration pic and I just acquired a stamp which has crocuses on it, but I couldn't resist playing with this tulip suite for today.  The ribbon was a Sale-a-Bration offering a few years ago but I never get all the way through a roll of ribbon before it's retired.

Now it's your turn to make a spring-inspired card and upload it at the Paper Players blog.  Have fun!

  7. I love purple Christy so your single stemmed tulips is a definite favourite for me and I love the bold pop of colour from the sentiment label too. The die edge detail is so pretty too - I always forget I have that die! Beautiful!
