The bright color mix was inspired by this week’s Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge (PPA258). Check out what the PPA resident artists have dreamed up with this palette HERE and play along!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- At long last! Stampin’ Up! offers a Thick Whisper White Card Stock which is perfect for my 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base! It’s one of My Favorite Things from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog.
- Angling my rectangles gives a fun and colorful twist!
- The rich stripe in Cucumber Crush is embossed and ready to go as part of the Color Me Irresistible Specialty Designer Series Paper.
- The “Congrats” sentiment for this card is from Stampin’ Up! Cottage Greetings stamp set.

- Two Whisper White buttons (Neutrals Designer Buttons) and a Night of Navy Candy Dot (Regals Candy Dots) add a playful touch!

Wonderful color challenge….your stars and buttons and the other shapes really create a fun and pretty card!
It’s never too late, Maria! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Goodness, I’m so late, I apologize Mary 🙁 I love that embossed paper in my favorite color and the awesome design of your card, the “chubby” stars look just fabulous and festive.
Thank you for sharing.
Definitely your signature style, Mary! Love the geometrics, bold splash of color and you had me looking up the star punch. I have not purchased it yet since I have several of the old star punches, but I really like this “fatter” version, LOL. Off to pin…
Hi Katy: I was just telling Brian King that this star punch creates the cutest star ever. I guess it is a little “fatter.” But that’s what gives it personality! M
Yummy card!
I thought the colors were yummy, too, Susan!
Thanks, Patti and Dawn, for playing in the challenge with me!
SO “Mary!” I love the bright colors with lots of white space!
Love how you used the Cumcumber Crush shiny background! All those tilted rectangles are fun, fun, fun!
Fun card with the bright colors stealing the show! Love that shiny background green!
The paper is divine, Linda, whether in the In Colors or plain (that you can color yourself).
Thanks for your sweet comments, Michelle and Kadie!
Your color combination is SUPER YUMMY…..and angling your rectangles gives your card a FUN and PLAYFUL look.
PS…….THANK YOU FOR MY AWESOME BIRTHDAY CARD……LOVED SEEING IT ON YOUR BLOG EARLIER THIS WEEK…….BUT WHEN IT ARRIVED IN MY MAILBOX YESTERDAY……I WAS BLOW AWAY WITH HOW PRETTY THE MELON MAMBO LOOKED.
This is fabulous, Mary! I love the embossed paper and this amazing design!
