Happy Mother's Day, PDCC74

Hi there! Thursday is quickly becoming one of my favorite days of the week, when the new Play Date Cafe Challenge is announced! I look forward to seeing what the new colors will be. This week is doubly fun, as Lizzie Anne is sponsoring the challenge.

I even got a bit of a sneak peek for this week's color story. Here it is:

I used the gorgeous cameo image from Follow Your Dreams for my card.

I stamped the image twice, once in purple and once in gray. I cut just the gray silhouette out and adhered it inside the purple frame, then I cut that out. It is matted with a shape die-cut from Label Five Nestabilities. To add a little interest to my monochrome background, I cut strips of cardstock and inked the edges in white.

To help tie the colors together, I added a row of purple buttons. I wasn't sure about this at first, but its growing on me!

This is a challenging color combination, I hope you'll give it a try! And while you're at it, head over to the Lizzie Anne store, where they have just announced an Overstock Sale! The sale runs through Sunday with 40% off select products! Woo!

Have a great day!

Anya
