Hello Everyone ~ I played with this stamp set and some different colors to create some Colorful Paisleys!
Well I managed to get into my room yesterday for a bit and did cross a few more items off my To Do list. I have back to back workshops today so not sure if I will have time to get to anything. I am hoping I can at least plan some cards so that when I get time I only have to stamp them.
Today we have a color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments
I have to admit I was not thrilled with the Real Red in there. I was not certain how I was going to use it. Then I remembered my Candy Cane Lane Washi Tape and knew the polka dots would be perfect! I mean who does not like paisley and polka dots! Since I knew this was going to be a challenge color combo I decided to use a sketch challenge for it. I found the perfect one at Pals Paper Arts
I began by stamping several images from the Paisleys & Posies set using the Bermuda Bay and Pool Party. Then I decided to bite the bullet and add some Real Red images. When I was finished it did not look half bad. I added a strip of the washi tape and attached my layer to my card base. I then needed to address the horizontal strip. I decided to make that my sentiment strip. I used a sentiment from the stamp set as these colors were just perfect for the uplifting sentiment. It seemed to lack some pizzazz so I added some bling by putting rhinestones in the center of the red flowers. It still did not seem finished to me so I pulled out my silver foil and my framelit and cut out 2 of the flower shapes. I added them to my card and now it was complete. Here is my completed creation!

I hope you will head over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog to see what the other ladies on the design team created. I am sure you find lots of different ideas.
Thanks for visiting me today. Wish me luck that I am still standing at the end of the day with all I have to get done today. Have a Terrific Tuesday and if you don’t have this set you need to order it so you can create your own Colorful Paisleys!

This turned out so cute! It's amazing what a little sparkle and shine can do!
Robbie, I love how you created the background with the paisleys. Such a pretty card and I love the rhinestones and the silver foil flowers. Great job with the color challenge.
