The Paper Players Challenge - Ann's Color CAS Challenge - Time to Say Adieu


Yes, it is time to say adieu to you and you and you.. I can't believe how quickly my time as Guest Designer has flown by. How could 3 months seem more like 3 weeks? It has been such a wonderful experience for me to be a Paper Players Guest Designer. Not only have I worked with amazingly talented, funny  and wonderful women,  but I also had the opportunity to explore all the amazing, creative talent of all the challenge entrants. 

So on to the challenge...... This week the fabulously talented Ann has a color combo - very vanilla, cherry cobbler and gold  - as well as a Clean And Simple design challenge. I love these rich colors together and really had to work to keep the design simple. 


I started by embossing my background paper using Creative Elements stamp set and gold embossing powder. Since this design has quite a bit of pattern, I wanted to keep the rest of the card simple. I used My Digitial Studio and found a sentiment from Wishes and Greetings and sized it to fit my card. After cutting and mounting the greeting, I accented it with Gold Glass Glitter. A quilted cherry cobbler ribbon, cherry cobbler seam binding and glimmer brad finish the card.
