PPA42 - Color Challenge









This week's PPA challenge is a bright and bold color challenge.  For this challenge, I tried my hand at quilling roses and am pleased with  how they turned out. Of course, I needed to add a little glitter to really make them sparkle. Earlier this year I made the mistake of ordering a stamp set in french but it has become a  welcome surprise. Now, I love adding an occasional french salutation to my cards as I did with this one. I will definitely be ordering more stamp sets in french. - perhaps spanish as well.

Paper - Pink Flamingo DSP, tempting turquoise, real red and whisper white card stock
Ink - basic black, real red, old olive and tempting turquoise
Stamps - Chic Boutique and Bons Moments
Accessories - real red polka dot ribbon, dimensionals, glue dots, sizzlets little leaves die, red and dazzling diamonds glitter.

  2. Love the quilled flowers, Tara! As for the stamp set in French...one of my greatest acquisitions was a mistake. One of my customers mistakenly ordered the French version of Sincere Salutations. I kept it...I love it! Great job with the challenge colors! Thanks for joining us @ PPA!
