Flowerpot Thanks For The Paper Players

by Joanne James22. March 2015 10:00

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge over at The Paper Players. There were some great CAS florals last week and this week we have my favourite kind of challenge. My good friend and talented team member LeAnne has a great sketch challenge for us:

I decided this sketch would be great for a DSP showcase, so today I have a very bright and colourful card to share with you:

I covered my entire card front with a piece of one of the 'busy' patterns from the Flowerpot DSP pack then used a piece of vellum to tone down the pattern so that my 'thanks' die cut in Night of Navy would still stand out against the pattern. I wrapped a piece of Tangerine Tango around the vellum in a bow before adhering it to my card base, using glue dots where they are covered by other elements so that they don't show through. I added the second part of my sentiment from the 'Crazy About You' stamp set and layered over my banner trio, punched out of colours I had picked up from the pattern using my banner punch. Lastly, I finished with a bold orange flower finished with a candy dot.

This card has such a clash of bright and bold colours and yet I think they work with the sketch beautifully. There are some great cards from the Design Team this week, all of whom have interpreted the sketch in interesting ways. Do pop by their blogs and take a look:

LOL, this paper always seems to shout at me, "USE ME!" but I can never quite bring myself to do it! You've managed nicely and the vellum and sentiment are perfect on this bright background! Love your little banners and the flower too! Thanks for rockin' my sketch this week!

I love that die-cut "thanks" - it looks fabulous in navy against the vellum. Fabulous card!

What a cheery card! I love the orange flower. I also love the thinlit "thanks" with the stamped "so much". This will be a day brightener for someone for sure!

What a happy background this paper makes! I love how it peeks through the vellum with the sentiment on top.

Joanne, I love that you used the vellum underneath the die cut, it really helps the sentiment to pop off the background. the touch of orange in the flower and twine is the perfect finishing touch

Joanne, everything about your card just says "spring". Love how you showcased the patterned paper and the vellum behind the die cut is a wonderful touch. Such a happy card!
