The Pals Paper Arts group has a fun colour challenge this week! They want you to use Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz and Perfect Plum! I didn't know how I was going to use these colours but I decided to give it a shot and see where the colours led me! My card is simple, with two panels (2 1/8"x 4 3/4") and then I staggered the panels. The Pear Pizzazz panel is a strip of the Presto Patterns Paper, inked with a sponge and some Pear Pizzazz Ink.
I made the flower using my Boho Blossoms Punch and scrunched up 3 of the biggest flowers and glue-dotted them together. Then I fluffed out each flower, this making a Puffy Flower with a little pearl inside!! I used the strip of Pearls that comes with the pearl package and made the stem for the flower. The sentiment comes from an retired Hostess Set! One of my favs! And I sponged the edges of the Decorative Label Punch out. I took my inspiration from the Skipping Stones Sketch Challenge this week.
