Pals Paper Arts Guest Designer

Happy Thursday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. I am really excited to announce that today I am the guest designer on the Pals Paper Arts Blog. I am among some amazing talent.
I was so honored when this team of creative artists invited me to a guest design spot. And, when I found out it was a color challenge I knew this was a perfect fit. I love creating with the colors already selected for you. I think it helps get your inspiration moving.

I also love the new Stampin-Up in-colors and this was a great opportunity to use them. I used daffodil delight designer paper in dots and stripes.                                                                    
The horizontal center strip is the island indigo shade and I used a Stampin-Up border punch. I also stamped this sweet little lion in that color ink.

My banners were cut with a die from MFT in island indigo, lucky limeade and daffodil delight. I tied the ends with bakers twine.
On the center vertical panel I used a background stamp for the dots in lucky limeade. The lion image is mounted on a Spellbinders scallop oval die.  

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin-Up "tiny talk" set and that completed this card. I hope you will drop by the Pals Paper Arts Blog and see what the other design team members have created. You will be treated to some amazing eye candy.

So until next time God bless................................
