It’s time for another Paper Players Challenge Guest Designer Post. This week’s challenge (PP249) is a color theme using Real Red and Blue Shades of Pool Party and Indigo Blue.
My Dad’s birthday is coming up in a few days, and we are going to visit him today to celebrate, so I thought I would use the opportunity to create a birthday card for him.
Instead of using those colors in ink, I used them in creating shapes and cut-outs of some beautiful StampinUp designer series paper (DSP) with the StampinUp Star Framelits Dies.
I wanted to give it a bit of a “vintagy” look too, so I sponged each piece with Tim Holtz Tea-Dye Distress Ink. I popped the stars and sentiment (from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler) on with some dimensionals.
Looking forward to celebrating Dad’s birthday and Father’s Day with him today.
Love you Dad!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Very cool looking. Perfect for his birthday. Enjoy your celebration.
