Organized chaos, a challenge and a colorful card!

Hi there.

So I am still getting used to my new crafty calendar and I keep finding more inspiration and fun challenges to add to it. It has become organized chaos LOL! My brain is thinking faster than I can create! Some of my blog buddies submit stuff to 5 or more challenges at once - I am not quite that skilled yet. So 1 or 2 at a time is fine with me for now! I will get it down eventually. :) 

I am intrigued by interesting color combinations  - not always easy to use and create with. So when I saw the latest Colour Q challenge, I wasn't won over immediately! But I found it was really fun thinking outside of the box to create something using this color combo. I really love the way this card turned out and I hope you like it too! :)

Here are the colors for this challenge: 

Here is my colorful creation - My "Let's Play" Card:

I love using patterned paper and paper piecing when I use Paper Smooches stamps! These furry and feathered cuties were stamped and embossed on patterned paper and fussy cut. I stamped their eyes on white cardstock - a fun thing about these images is you can change where they are looking just by how you stamp the eyes and glue them on. All of the animals and their toys are popped up with dimensional adhesive. 

I created the balls for the bird and dog using solid dot stamps, pigment ink and a circle punch. Then I used parts of other Paper Smooches stamp sets to create the details on them. The 'bounce' of the dog's tennis ball was created the same way. That's why these are some of my favorite stamps - they are so versatile and fun! I wrapped the kitty's ball with bakers twine and secured it with adhesive on the back. I used Glossy Accents to secure the twine loops to the card.
