Paper Players & Play Date Cafe Challenges

It seems like forever since I've participated in any challenges!! It's just been one thing after another, and I've either been too sick, too tired, too sick-and-tired, or too busy to stamp!! Not a good situation, you know?!?!? So it feels really good to be "back", lol!

And to make my life that much easier, I've combined two challenges (one sketch, one color), to make it a much smoother transition to stampin' bliss....

The Paper Players...

...and the Play Date Cafe challenge!
PDC doesn't label colors like some other challenges do, so you have to figure out exactly what colors you want to do on your own. SU doesn't make a light blue-green (mint) color, so I picked out my yellow and coral colors, and found a green which complimented those!

My challenge card:
It really ISN'T day-glow orange!! Honest!

But it sure looks that way in these photos!

Recipe:
Stamps: Cute by the Inch, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Strength & Hope (inside)
Paper: Whisper White, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz
Ink: Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon, 1" square punch, 1 1/4" sq. punch, nesties, dimensionals, sponge daubers, daisies #2 die (for reverse masking)

A much simpler card than I normally do, but I love the oh-so-soft look of the reverse masking sponging. What do you think?

Your background is so soft and lovely - what a great idea! I know what you mean about colours not always being true in photos, frustrating sometimes! Either way, this is just beautiful. Thanks for playing at The Paper Players this week.

Love the reverse masking, I'll have to give that a try soon. The green you picked complements the other two colors very nicely!
