I needed to make a card for my nephew and I decided to use the colour challenge at Paper Players. They extended the playing time because of problems with blogger last week and this gave me time to play along. Yay!
Perfect colours for a male card.
My sister told me Alex would love one of my monkey cards for his birthday. (Plus something to go with it of course!) I’m getting quite a reputation for using this stamp. It’s actually my daughter’s set and it is the best birthday present I have ever given her. Ha Ha :)
I stamped the monkeys with espresso and then embossed them with clear. It gave them more dimension and they’re nice and shiny too. Can’t see that in the photo though.
Ingredients :
Stamps : fox and friends
Card : NQN, cherry cobbler, confetti white, whisper white
Ink : versamark, espresso
Other : big shot, polka dot embossing folder, clear embossing powder, square punches, thin espresso taffeta ribbon, timeless type alpha
There are lots of gorgeous examples using these colours on the Paper Players site. Take a look and then give them a try.
