PPA55

There was no way I was going to miss the color challenge over at the Paper Players.  Lucky for me the challenge ran for two weeks because of the Stampin' Up! convention so I was able to make a card early and post it while I'm away from home.


As usual, I see a card with Crumb Cake and I'm practically powerless to resist!  Add Basic Gray and I am in raptures!

I inked up my brand new Raining Flowers stamp set for this card.  And to add a little twist mixing some old with some new, I used some retired designer paper in shades of Basic Gray for the bottom half of this card (I don't remember the name of the paper, though.  Eek!).  I think I'm really going to like this stamp set.  It has some very interesting stamps and lots of two-step stamping potential!

Thanks for stopping by today!

    A perfect "Jen" card! You are the color blocking master! Love that speckled basic gray DSP and your Raining Flowers focal piece is gor-juss! Fabulous card, as usual! So glad you play along with us at The Paper Players!

    This is gorgeous Jen ... love the flower, button and twine, it is soo effective and certainly deserves centre stage ... love the stitching, had to zoom in cos it looked like real machine stitching!!!
    Have to agree with Nance, you do the colour blocking thingy really well ... love it!
    Thanks for playing along with us at Paper Players this week!!!
