PP698 Friends

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Hope your weekend is going well so far!  Jaydee is our Paper Players hostess today and it's a color theme:

I admit that at first glance, I didn't know where to go with these colors; I am in full summer mode and these didn't fit my seasonal thinking! But heaven knows I have plenty of stamps, ink and paper, so this is what finally came to mind:

This little kitten image is from a whole sheet of vintage pet images from Rare Image, sadly out of business!  I stamped them in Versafine black and watercolored them in, then added a Unity sentiment.  Each diecut circle was matted with a scallop in one of the challenge colors:




I still had some Playful Pets DSP, and I added some red & black plaid DSP from Peaceful Prints, both retired, along with a little Smoky Slate stitched border.  I had an extra plaid circle that was unused, so I added this little diecut sentiment on the inside:


This color combo is great for guys, but obviously, it can be used for lots of other occasions!  I had this card out at a stamp event yesterday and a cat-loving customer bought it! So we can't wait to see how you incorporate these colors into your creation!  Be sure to share it with us at the Paper Players!  

Thanks for visiting today, enjoy and be blessed!

After all this, there is only one thing to say: Have reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for.  God is going to judge everything we do, whether good or bad, even things done in secret.  Eccesiastes 12:13

LeAnne, this is fabulous! I love the little kitties. The plaid and border die add so much detail! Such a beautiful sentiment, too! Your card made me smile!

I absolutely adore everything about your creation...especially the kitties!

LeAnne, you might not have known what to do with these colors - but you sure rocked them. I love that you used a vintage stamp and some old, but fabulous DSP from SU - they work together beautifully. The buffalo plaid really brings all the togethers. Thanks for rocking my challenge
hugs
