PPA 200! Let’s Celebrate!

When the Stampin’ Pretty Pals originally started the Pals Paper Arts Challenge, I never dreamed we would reach 200 challenges!  Today is that day and we are ready to celebrate!  Play this week’s challenge using the sketch below by Margaret Moody and you’ll be entered in a random drawing to receive ALL 20 challenge projects from the 20 PPA Resident Artists.  How fun!

  • Each PPA Resident Artist chose a Stampin’ Up! color to create a monochromatic card.  I opted for Tempting Turquoise!

  • I flipped the sketch 90 degrees and reinterpreted the circle on the sketch as a popped up flower.
  • Pearl Basic Jewels add a sumptuous touch to the flower centers.
  • A border of Tempting Turquoise card stock cropped with the Scallop Trim Border Punch peeks from behind.

  • Say it your way!  I used the Stampin’ Up! Circle Monogram stamp to leave my personal “signature” on the back.  This “see through” photopolymer stamp makes placement of crisp images a snap.  I have the full scoop on the new Circle Monogram stamps and their possibilities HERE.  Oh, how I’m hoping to see lots more photopolymer stamps in the Annual Catalog (starts June 2)!  Stampin’ Up! “clearly” has the best!

  3. Lovely monochromatic look!! it’s simple but striking!!! This pretty flowers look amazing either way. I love your interpretation of the sketch, that little pop up flower with the sweet pearls is a fabulous way to add dimension to this Pretty in Blue card.
    Thank you for sharing.

  4. Nancy, I’m looking forward to the introduction to Stampin’ Up! Blendabilities (similar to Copic alcohol based markers). Hoping that will encourage me to start “filling things in!”

  5. Congratulations on #200. The idea of monochromatic is exciting. I can’t wait to check them all out, and possibly win them? I love this stamp set, but honestly have never seen it not colored in. It looks fantastic either way. Thanks for the encouragement to enter this challenge. 🙂
