Happy Easter everyone! Hope you are enjoying sometime with your families. I am actually out of town visiting some of mine and I am sure I will have some photos to share when I get back, although I am having to use my old camera as my Nikon SLR camera is not working:(
Today is Sunday so that means another fantastic Challenge with the lovely ladies at The Paper Players. This week the fabulouse LeAnne is our hostess with the mostess and she has cooked up a great Colour Challenge.
As I mentioned my good camera is broken so this picture is not the greatest as the colours seem a little off to me:( Any way, I decided to go very CAS with this colour combo and used one of my "must have" sets that has not seen very much ink-do you ever do that? I remember last year when the catalogue came out, this set was on the top of my list! The base of the card is Pool Party, then I layered on a large piece of Whisper White that was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder. The blue DSP is actually Island Indigo (but I thought ist was close enough to NQN). It is from the new DSP called Summer Smooches and is a Sneak Peek from the upcoming catalogue! The Cetainly Celery Dsp is from the Subtle Paper Stack and was die cut using the Tastseful Trim die. I then used the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to punch out the center of the Scallops. Of course what is a card with out ribbon? -so I tied some Not Quite Navy Taffeta Ribbon around the DSP.
The main images were stamped using Pool Party, Not Quite Navy and Certainly Celery Calssic Ink. I cut one of the hot ait ballons out and popped it up. For all the circles I used the 1", 1 1/4" and 2 1/2" Circle Punches as well as the 3" Sizzix Circle Die.
Hope you can join us this week and please be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the amazingly talented Design Team has come up with this week!
Have a great day!
I really do love the CAS style so this card really speaks to me! And, I am also one of those who has a list of "must haves" and then when I buy one off the list...it doesn't get used often enough! Great idea to use the itty bitty circle to punch out of the Tasteful Trim border. Adds a fun touch for sure! Hope you have a great weekend!

Up, Up and Away with the CUTENESS! Jenn, I love everything about this one! The circles, the texture, the fabulous design...wowza! My birthday isn't for a few months, but if you want to stash this one away...lol!! This is one of my most "under-utilized" sets, as well. But afterseeing this beauty, I am completely inspired! Hope you had a fun weekend! Hugs! :)

I love this color combination, but wouldn't think of it as "festive"--til I saw your card! Very happy and upbeat!

How fun is this! I just love what you've done with this cute set and the way you made that VERY cool scalloped border! I think I will need to try that myself!
