It’s Sunday and time for another Paper Players challenge. This week, Joanne created a simple and fun sketch for our inspiration.
So, let’s get right to my card today. Joanne gave us a lot of artistic license with her sketch. It’s simple with a single layer and sentiment banner.
I decided to open up my In Bloom Bundle and have a little fun. I matched the Bundle with the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper which work perfectly together.
The patterned paper was the inspiration for my stitched floral die cuts and color palette and I added a little So Saffron to the center of my stitched flowers.
I followed the design “rule of thirds” using three die cut flowers to anchor the sentiment banner. Although the elements in this card design are simple, the Night of Navy and Basic White patterned paper makes a bold statement. I thought it best not to use any embellishments. Sometimes less is more. I also created a pattern repeat between the stitched flowers and patterned paper. Whenever you have a pattern repeat, the elements will always work together.
I absolutely love the sentiment font. Stamped with Night of Navy ink, the swirly letters and heavier line weight of the sentiment stamp are strong enough for the patterned paper background.
So, grab some statement making patterned paper, add a few stitched flowers and a bold sentiment and create something amazing to link up with us over at the Paper Players.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

Hi Jaydee. Thanks so very much.
I think you may have pushed me over the edge to get this bundle, Debbie! I had been eying it for a while but paired with this DSP, it looks fabulous! Such a great, versatile set!
LeAnne, thank you! You did a post on your blog with the paper and that card was gorgeous. You HAVE to get this Bundle. Lol!!
I have not seen this die set of flowers. I love your card, Debby! I just love blue cards and then the hint of yellow really works well. Have a great week!
Thank you, Nancy! It seems I always go with blue, but I am working on creating “out of my blue box”. These dies are incredible.
Beautiful in blues! Love how you highlighted this paper by matching the blooms to it! So sweet! Have a great week!
Thank you so much, Amanda. See you in the gallery on Sunday! Enjoy your week also.
Those are some beautiful blooms! I love that paper..pretty!
Thank you, Laurie.
Gorgeous Debbie and you’re so right – when a card is as beautifully coordnated as this, less most definitely is more! These are some of my favourite papers too and the stitched blooms pair perfectly. Great job!
Thank you, Joanne. It’s always that coordination that makes it work so easily. See you in the Gallery soon.
Debbie, love what you did with the pairing of the floral dies and the DSP! Wowza! Love that little pop of yellow and green, too. Such a pretty card!
