PP459 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Anne Marie

Hello everyone! Anne Marie here with the latest challenge here at The Paper Players. Before I get to that, I’d like to take a moment on behalf of the entire team to say thanks so much for playing along with Ann’s fabulous color challenge last week. So much beautiful inspiration in the gallery with that fun color combo. Wow! 

It’s time for our monthly Clean-and-Simple (CAS) Challenge and I have a fun theme for you: Marvelous Metallics! For your projects, incorporate any metallic element to make it shine! There are so many choices, silver, gold, copper, rose gold and/or any other color of foil or metallics will work. So, what do we mean by Clean-and Simple?

Minimal layers and embellishments

Plenty of open space, aka “white” space

Simple and uncluttered

I’m so excited and I hope you are, too! We can’t wait to see what you create. Let’s take a look at what the Design Team has created this week for inspiration.

I loved how Amanda used the challenge colors to create her gorgeous Season of Thanks card. The embossed background adds to its richness, while the touch of gold ink adds the perfect sparkle. Congratulations, Amanda, for being my pick for Headliner!
