Paper Player's Challenge!
August 18, 2011
Look at me! Two posts in one day!! Are you impressed? haha!!
I had a few extra minutes this morning before I had to get moving, so I pulled out the Paper Player's Color challenge:
I had also received a new stamp set yesterday--Up, Up and Away!! So, I wanted to use it! Here in Albuquerque, we have a HUGE Balloon Fiesta each October--it's the largest in the world, and the most photographed event in the world! So, of course, when I saw this stamp set, I had to have it!!
Love the balloons!! I used the three colors from teh challenge, along with Black. I love the way this turned out!!! Here's an up close view of the ribbon:
It's actually three separate pieces of ribbon, just layered! Then, I used my Curly Label Punch for the sentiment!
Hope you like it!!!
Here are your measurements (very simple today!):
Regal Rose: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Rose Red: 5 1/4" x 4"
Basic Black: 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Whisper White: 5" x 3 3/4", plus scrap for sentiment!!
Have a GREAT day!!!
Holy cow! This is one awesome card, love all those balloons and the way you laid out your card Tammy! Thanks for joining us at the Paper Players.
Smiles,

Your card is adorable! I love it! I haven't ordered that set yet, but definitely will soon! I also really love the way the ribbon looks, esp with the punch on top.

This is the first card that has really made me want this set!! Great job! I started blogging again and then started back to work at a new school in a new district and quickly fell off the wagon. I need to get some posted lined up to be ready to autopost!

Tammy, this is a fabulous card. I love your masking technique. It really does remind me of a balloon fest. A fabulous feminine balloon fest:-) So glad you shared your creation with the Paper Players again this week.
