I am sharing a rather different color challenge for Paper Players challenge. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the colors. But when I first saw them I had to think a minute. Now however, I am in love and trying to figure a way to incorporate some Bermuda Bay into my Christmas decorations. I went wild with my colors last year so I’m mostly there with two of the three colors.
What do you think? I believe these bright colors all work wonderfully together. The only problem I had was there is not a Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Blend. I made do with the Stampin’ Write Marker in Gorgeous Grape and actually the lines it left on the stocking topper works.
Here is the challenge from Paper Players:

Jackie, this is such a fun group of stockings! I love how you used my colors for your Christmas card! The purple, embossed background is beautiful! SO happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week! XX
I love the bright colors! And that embossed background is perfect — the teardrop shapes look like the hanging loops on the stockings. Have so much fun at OnStage!
What an awesome way to use the challenge colors, Jackie! I like how the Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write marker left lines…it is a cool effect! The embossed background is so rich. Thank you for sharing with The Paper Players this week!
What a great card. I love the Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green together, it’s just beautiful.
