It's color week at The Paper Players and Claire has chosen some really gorgeous colors for us! I decided to go with some ink smooshing (that's a technical term, I'm sure - lol!). I went with a holiday sentiment but I'm thinking I may need to add some kind of ornament accents to make it look more like a Christmas card.
I used the closest distress inks that I could match with the SU colors and went with Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, and Twisted Citron. I first triple stamped the Abstract Triangles background (Simon Says Stamp) with black ink then smooshed on the distress inks. A frame was die cut using Papertrey Ink's Pierced Feature Frames die and I adhered a vellum layer behind it. The sentiment is by Lil Inker Designs.
We sure would love to have you join us! For more inspiration from the rest of the design team, you'll want to check it out HERE.

This is gorgeous Wanda; your smooshed background provides a colourful base for your bold sentiment diecut. Love the geometric triangle pattern too.
That background looks awesome, Wanda! Love the colors mixed with the geometric prints. The big, bold sentiment is the perfect touch!
