In order to celebrate the 200th challenge for the Pals Paper Arts (PPA) both Design teams are ceating for this challenge. As members of the design team, the challenge is double – use the sketch with an assigned monochramatic color. My color choice is Calypao Coral. The sketch is from the uber talented Maragaret Moody.
No joke, I actually made 5 cards for this challenge. For the first 4 cards, I created them using just Calypso Coral & Whisper White paper but I did not use the sketch. I somehow missed the fact that we had to use both our color and the sketch. I found out AFTER I submitted my card. Needless to say, I was under the gun to get something done fast. The result …….
The 2 patterned paper pieces are from the I Am Me paper pack & are matted with Calypso Coral c.s. The Whisper White c.s. layer was embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. A 1-3/4" Scallop Circle was punched from Whisper White c.s. and a 2-3/8" Scallop Circle was punched from Calypso Coral.
One of images from the Six-Sided Sampler was stamped on Whisper White with Calypso Coral Ink. After punching it out with the Hexagon Punch, I used the 3/4" Circle Punch to punch a hole in the middle of the hexagon. A small Calypso Coral banner was threaded through that hole after being Heat Embossed with Whisper White Powder. The sentiment is also from the Six-Sided Sampler set. The addition of some Rhinestone Basic Jewels finished the card.
During the next couple of weeks, I will share the other Calypso Coral Monochramatic cards. I will spread them out so you won't get sick of that color!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

This is an interesting challenge and you came out with a great card. I like how the thank you banner slips through the hexagon. I like the balance of Calypso Coral and white. The bling is well placed. I like what you did.
