Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! I hope love is all around you today and every day forward.
It’s Sunday and time for another Paper Players Challenge. It’s Jaydee’s turn to challenge us with colors. She chose Red or Pink, Black, White and Gold or Silver. What a fun color challenge this is. Black, White, a pop of Red or Pink and top it off with the sparkle of silver or gold, or both!!
A few posts ago, I showed a quick and easy thank you that I created from the Dandy Wishes dies. It was a CAS card using the same die cut flower medallions I used for my card today. I think these bold medallions are so much fun to create with. You can pop them on any project either as a flower (which is what they are) or an embellishment.
To keep in line with the color challenge, I created black grass. Interesting choice on my part, but I thought it looked pretty good with the black layer and black sentiment on this whimsical design. This card is a black and white CAS with pops of red and pinks. I added Silver and Gold Metallic Pearls to again keep in line with the color challenge, but I also thought they were subtle enough to keep my flower medallions front and center and add just a little bit of finish to this card.
So, find that really cool die in your stash, crop it in some red and pink cardstock add a few layers, pop in some sparkle and create something fun to link up with us over at Jaydee’s Color Challenge.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

Perfection! I love this! Such a great showcase of these dies – you’ve made some great projects with these. ♥
Thank you, Brian. I always enjoy hearing from you.
This is beautiful Debbie – so eye-catching with your dramatic sections of colour! Love the addition of the metallic pearls too. A great modern vibe!
Thank you, Joanne.
This is so striking, Debbie! I love how you created your little flower scene, a nice change from Valentines!
Thank you LeAnne. I enjoyed working on this one.
I love this bold design! The big graphic flowers are perfect with the colors and your CAS layout! The metallic dots made me think of dew drops! Have a great week!
Hi Amanda, thank you.
I loved reading your back story on why you made two similar cards. It is a good thing, your card was easy to duplicate. They are both so striking and work so well. I am glad I am not the only one that sometimes has to make a mad dash to redo my card for a challenge. Have a great week.
Nancy, thank you! It’s a good feeling to be in such good company. You are awesome. Enjoy your week also.
Clean and awesome, Debbie! I also read the story on your similar cards…and I must say, I really rather fancy the black grass! The metallic pearls are the perfect accents. Great job!
Thank you, Ann. I am liking the black grass also!
