Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge #187

It is Thursday and time for Pals Paper Arts Challenge.  This week is a color challenge and oh what fun colors they have given us to create with…Real Red, Soft Sky and Whisper White.  

I immediately knew what I wanted to do with this challenge. Use a new embossing folder and create a banner. 

Super easy yet I think it looks like a lot of work went into the card.  Here are the details:

• Whisper White note card and envelope set (131527) is the base.
• Cut the Soft Sky cardstock (131203) 1/8" smaller and then emboss with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder*
• Then cut all the banner shapes using the Hearts a Flutter Framelits (130159). Stamping the third element with Real Red ink from the Hearts a Flutter Stamp set (129252) before cutting it. The final element of the banner was cut and then stamped using the Tape It stamp set (130715).
• Add Basic Metal Buttons (133319) and tie with Whisper White Bakers Twine (124262).
• The sentiment came from the Love you to the Moon stamp set (133143) and punched with the 3/4" circle punch (119873).

*this is a sneak peak at one of the Sale-a-bration items available beginning January 28, 2014.

I enjoyed creating this card.  If you are not participating in the Pals Challenges you should give it a try.  It is great fun and I have found my own creativity flourishing by pushing myself to participate in these challanges.  It is a new year and the opportunity to explore new things.

I would love to hear from you!

Cheers,
