You Are My People Pastels

If you look around my world, you won't see a lot of pastels.  I'm a full on bright color girl, so I always love the challenge of creating in a color palette I usually don't embrace like these sweet pastels at Sunday Stamps Challenge.

 

 

I found scraps of cardstock in all five colors and cut them into 1/2 strips for a mini-slimline design.

 

 

 

I die cut some Alexandra Renke Greenery & Blooms and then tucked in one of the Taylored Expressions Subtle Sprigs for a bit more fill & dimension.

I'm also joining the April Showers Challenge at The Paper Players.

 

I finished with a Taylored Expression Simple Strips - Friendship.

Hah, a perfect take on our colors - make a background! I'm with you in that pastels aren't my usual wheelhouse, but this slimline is awesome! Love those pretty stems, too! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!

This is fabulous Stef! I love the strips of pastel colors and those gorgeous flowers! Just wow! You rocked both challenges this week! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps!

I love the idea of using the background strips to incorporate your pastels Stef - they showcase the white diecuts beautifully! I'm with you - pastels are not usually my thing, but I enjoyed this challenge too - sometimes we all need to step out of our comfort zone for a while! Thanks for playing along with us over at The Paper Players this week!
