PP249 The Paper Player's Color Challenge - "To a Classic"

We are halfway to the weekend....whew!  Today's card was created for this weeks Paper Player's Challenge (http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2015/06/pp249-color-challenge-from-sandy.html).  I have never participated with this group before, so it should be fun.  I hope you enjoy my card.  It was challenging to us the color combination that was given, but it definitely make me think outside the box.

This card was created using the Stampin' Up Travelers set and the Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack.  I started with the card base in Island Indigo, with a second layer in Pool Party.  I trimmed down a page of the Real Red striped DSP from the paper stack and placed it on the Pool Party.  I cut a 2 1/2 x 4 inch piece of Black cardstock and used my banner framlets to create the banner below the image and popped up with dimensonals.  I stamped my image in Memento ink and used the Deco Framelits to cut out the image.  I used the same framelit and cut out the background in Real Red.  I trimmed the sides of the stamped image and adhered to the Real Red background, added rhinestones - then secured to the black banner.  I added a smaller banner from a piece of scrap Pool Party with the sentiment from the Guy Greetings Stampin' Up set and used the square punch to add the finishing touches to the ends.  In this picture, I used older Pool Party twine to accent the piece.  I hope that you enjoy my submission for the challenge.  Happy Stampin'!

 UPDATE:  I am so excited!  My submission was selected as "A Cut Above".  I am feeling really good about my first submission to the Paper Players challenge.  :)
