The challenge this week at The Paper Players is a Colour Challenge. While my card is on the simple side, it was a real challenge for me. I don’t create a lot with the lighter colors. I did a lot of shuffling and came up with this design to meet the challenge requirements. Here are the colours-
I used a wide variety of supplies, told you I did a lot of shuffling!

You achieved beauty with your sense of balance and simple design. I think the dry embossed dots in the background gives it that extra something. Well done! 🙂
Gorgeous card! I love how clean yet so sophisticated it is. Thanks for joining us at Whimsy Stamps this week and good luck! Ani

What a beautiful creation—your flowers & flourishes make this so elegant! Thanks so much for playing with us at the Paper Players this week!
Hi Allisa! I tried to make rolled roses tonight and mine are so sad compared to these beauties. Love the texture and dimension along with the fun shape framing the sentiment. Very pretty! Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! 🙂
Gorgeous, Allisa! I LOVED the rolled flowers! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players!
The best advice I have on the flowers it to roll them tightly and then let them "relax" before gluing into place. I roll mine and then set them down and let them loosen, then glue in place. The plain spiral seems to be the easiest to master….since you are not working with aligning petals.
Beautiful card! Very elegant design, I love the soft colors! Thanks for joining the SweetStamps.com Think Spring challenge and good luck!
