PP776 - A Colour Challenge from Joanne

Hello crafty friends, it's Joanne here welcoming you to a new challenge at the Paper Players!  But before we get to that, I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who played along with Christy's Theme Challenge.  The gallery was filled with a fabulous collection of mystical and mythical creatures. This week it's colour week and I've chosen 'colours of the rainbow' for our creative palette. Your project doesn't have to include an actual rainbow (although that's fine too!), rather it should contain a rainbow of colours as its focus. 

Now let's go see how the design team chose to incorporate a rainbow of colours on their cards!

I was drawn to Silke's CAS card immediately with her vibrant dragon and a dreamy cloud background, all in shades of blue.  It is a simply beautiful design, and I would love to have a dragon friend.  Congratulations Silke, you're my Headliner this week!

PP775 - A Theme Challenge from Christy

Happy Sunday, y'all, and welcome to a new Paper Players challenge!  First off, thank you to everyone who played along with Jan's sketch last week, it's always a delight to see all the different ways to use a single sketch!

Christy here with my very first theme challenge and I hope you enjoy it!  Let's have some fun with mythical creatures, by which I mean anything you can think of from mythology, fairy tales, folklore, anything like that--think dragons, fairies, mermaids, unicorns, gnomes, leprechauns, anything along those lines.

We have a wonderful array of mythical creatures to get your creativity sparking, take a look!

PP774 Challenge Winners

Hello Stampers,

Jan here. Thank you to everyone who played along with my sketch challenge this week. I love a sketch and I especially love seeing the diversity of projects that come from the same starting point. There were some gorgeous creations and you haven't made it easy for us to choose our winners. 

Before we get to my Headliner this week, let's look at our Cut Above winners, chosen by the Design Team. 

Michele F - I Card Everyone

Rosemary D - Hey There, Rosigirl

Erin T - HomemadecardsbyErin

And now for my Headliner, Amy Koenders - Stamp with Amy K

From the gorgeous wood-grained background through to the sunny heat-embossed sentiment, every element of this card worked together. The floral DSP strip picked up the blue flowers in the pot. The trio of Lemon Lolly flowers drew the eye in and was echoed in the sentiment strip. The iridescent pearl embellishments were perfectly placed to enhance, but not dominate, the focal point. I smiled the moment I saw it!

Congratulations, Amy. You are my Headliner this week!

Congratulations to all the winners - be sure to pick up your badges here!  Be sure to come back tomorrow for a theme challenge from Christy.

PP773 - A CAS Challenge from Stef

Hello, crafty friends!  Welcome to a new challenge at the Paper Players!  Stef here and I'm hosting our monthly CAS challenge.  But first I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who joined Ann's color challenge.  The gallery was filled with so many beautiful entries!  And congrats to the winners!

Now on to this week's challenge.  I don't know about you but I am always in need of birthday cards.  So, my challenge is to make your CAS card a birthday card with a balloon or balloons.  Remember, clean and simple means limited layers and embellishments, along with plenty of "white" or open space.  

Now, let's get to it!
