PP729 - A Clean-and-Simple Challenge from Joanne

Hello everyone - Joanne here! Welcome to this week's challenge at The Paper Players - I'm your hostess for this week. Thank you to everyone who participated in Jaydee's pastels colour challenge last week - such a pretty gallery full of soft and subtle shades.  This week it's Clean and Simple week and I'm looking for cards with just one single stamped image in addition to a sentiment if you wish.

We're all looking forward to seeing what YOU do with this challenge. Just remember to keep things CLEAN and SIMPLE: minimal layers, lots of clean white space and few embellishments. 


Here's some fabulous inspiration from the design team to get your ideas flowing:

Congratulations, ladies.  We hope you will take your badge and display it proudly on your blog.


HEADLINER

Our HEADLINER'S card stole my heart.  Michelle's card had it all.   Gorgeous textures on each layer, beautiful tulips expertly colored and lots of wonderful white space to ensure that those focal elements absolutely shine.   Congratulations, Michelle, you are my HEADLINER this week.

PP728 - A Color Challenge from Jaydee

Happy Sunday and welcome to a new challenge at the Paper Players.  Jaydee here and it's my pleasure to host our challenge this week.  Before we get to our challenge, a huge shout out to all of you who played along with Claire's Spring challenge last week.  What a wonderful array of spring flowers we had in our gallery and we loved visiting your creations.  Congrats to our challenge winners and thanks again to all of you who played along.

I hope you like this week's challenge.  It's the season (in some parts of the world at least!) for Spring and pastel colors just feel right :-).  Feel free to add black, white or another neutral.


As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you.
