Anyway all I've wanted to do this weekend is STAMP!!!! I've got more cards done this week/weekend than I have in a long time...now maybe I could actually get around to SENDING some, lol! So when I happened to click over on the Paper Players blog I found this nifty little color challenge and thought I needed to get at least one more card in before convention. Now, I know I will get to stamp a little bit while I'm there but it will be limited and I'm just so excited about all the new stuff!!!! Just look at this funky and fun color combo:
So here's my entry for the #55 color challenge:
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Up, Up, & Away
Paper: whisper white, poppy parade, baja breeze, basic gray
Ink: poppy, baja, gray, crumb cake
Accessories: seam binding, dotted scallop border punch, two way glue pen, dazzling diamonds
Ohhhh! Isn't it just fab! I LOVED this color combo as soon as I saw it and I immediately thought of these fun little hot air balloons! I just love the POP that the poppy parade provides. I kept the layout rather simple since the colors are kind of bold. I also used dazzling diamonds on the popped up balloon although it doesn't show too well in the picture. The sparkle really made all the difference! Those balloons would look really good embossed as well! Hope you like it!!!
I hope to have some cards to share while I'm gone and I hope to post some stuff from convention but we'll see how that goes as I really have no idea what to expect other than it's going to be so fun and I'm going to be so exhausted! Happy stamping!
Girl, your are a riot! I can just feel your excitement and this is a fabulous card! Now go get packing! LOL!

ReplyDeleteHi Mindy! I LOVE your card! I'm bummed that my new catty order will arrive the day I am leaving for Convention, so I'll have to wait until I get home to play with my new goodies. Maybe I'll see you there! ;)
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Mindy! I love the Dazzling Diamonds! A perfect layout for this set! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players this week!

ReplyDeleteLove the colours, and love your card! Are you finished packing yet?
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love this card .... love how you have used the colours this week ... and doesn't that poppy parade add just the "pop" where it is needed ... can't go past the DD, must look stunning in real!

This is so cute, Mindy! I love those cute hot air balloons! Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteMinders, I am in love with this card. The layout is just so perfect and the dazzling diamonds... well... a girl just has to have a little bling - and in this case, it's perfectly placed.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to join the Paper Players before you left for convention. I looked for you, but couldn't find you:-)
