The Paper Players

The Paper Players have a somewhat tricky color combination this week in my humble opinion..... I concentrated on the blue and gold and kept the cantaloupe for the enamel dots....



I used the STAMPlorations set Trendy Feathers  - the sentiment is from the same set and the swirl and splot are from Papertrey Happy Trails. I masked the blue feather, before I stamped it a second time in gold. The gold is Delicata ink - I just love this ink. It so pretty in real life, the picture does not do  it justice.....

Here is the inspiration photo:

Cornelia, I think you rocked the challenge. I often do the same thing as you did, take the one color that isn't working for me and introduce it as a small element. I love the feathers and the boarder of blue. So glad you joined the Paper Players this week
