PPA 227 - Color Challenge



At Pals Paper Arts this week, our Color Team has come up with three gorgeous autumn colors for your palette this week:  Crushed Curry, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie. We hope you can play along with us!

  • I sponged the three colors onto Whisper White card stock and cut the images using the Autumn Accents and Flower Frenzy Bigz L dies. I have a weakness for all the Bigz and Original dies, because they are like no other. These versatile dies are backed by the thickest blade and have a powerful cut. Just one die creates amazing shapes from card stock, chipboard, magnet, poly foam, metallic foil, shrink film and even fabric. That makes them a wise investment and paper crafting necessity.
  • To give the leaves some texture I inked with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.

    So pretty Beth. The texture on the leaves is incredible and the loops of linen thread ending with the gold button is the perfect accent. Gorgeous!
