Hello,
Claire's color challenge this week for the Paper Players is both bright and fun. It would be perfect for some summer flowers for sure. However, I used a new winter set from Simon Hurley to make this winter themed birthday card.
I started by tearing some copy paper to mask the snow hills for the penguins to stand on and then ink blended the colors for a winter sky. Then I stamped four penguin images, cut them out with the set dies and colored the balloons, scarves and hats using the challenge colors.
I've used another of the penguin images, there are four total in the stamp set, on the inside with a birthday greeting from a GKD stamp set. I used the same process for the snow hills and sky as on the front of the card.
I'm currently visiting my mom and sister in northern CA. Between the supplies that I've brought and my sister's supplies, we have a well stocked craft area. Besides some stamping, I brought some crocheting to work on. I finished this fun beanie hat recently. I gave it to my sister as an early birthday present.
Tonight, I'm joining my mom for bingo at the senior center here in her town. Hope one of us wins a game or two, LOL.
Colleen, this is fantastic!!!! I love the gorgeous background you created. These little penguins in their colorful scarves and beanies are adorable. SMILE! Wow you even crochet! I am impressed! So happy you joined my challenge this week!
