Paper Players #562 - Color Challenge

 

 Welcome.  Before I get started with today's card I just want to say how excited I was that my card for the PP#561 Spooky Challenge made the (Cut Above) for last weeks challenge.  Thank you so much.

 

 

 

This weeks challenge is a color challenge: (#562)

 

Such pretty colors.  Since I don't have Pale Papaya   I went with the closest color I could get to match it.  For my 4th color I chose a yellow (Daffodil Delight) as it was one of the colors in the Designer Paper that I chose to use.

My card is also based off the same sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (#506) from last week.

I needed a Sympathy card for a fellow bowling team member who lost her husband last week.  These type of cards are never easy to make but sadly they sooner or later are a necessity.

Here is the card that I came up with:

I remembered that I had this piece of fall leaf paper in my stash and it seemed to have all the colors of the challenge in it so I based my card around that paper.

Card Base: Early Espresso

Layered with a soft peach/papaya color that is actually the back of a piece of Coredinations card stock.

The Designer Paper is old and says it was from Gussie's on the back of it.

I used circle and scallop dies and stamped my leaf (PSX - Personal Stamp Exchange) with Pumpkin Pie Ink on the light colored card stock and mounted it on a pie of Pumpkin Pie.  My strips of paper were: Early Espresso, Coordinations piece & Daffodil Delight.

The sentiment on the outside and the inside of the card are from Stamp Simply - Sympathy Sentiments Set 1 - Awhile back I won 3 of their sympathy sets and am finally putting them to good use.

Here is the inside of the card:

The leaf is the solid version of the one I used on the outside of the card.  Inks used were: Early Espresso & Pumpkin Pie.

That's it for this card.  Be sure to check out the Design Teams cards & the other participants as well.
