Before I share today's card, I want to give a quick shout out to my new friend Jacqueline! I met her on Saturday at Stamp Fanci, one of Pittsburgh's LSS, and she was a total sweetheart. I have to be honest and say that I have never been recognized in person from my blog before and didn't really know how to react! Yeah, I'm kind of a dork :)
I made this card for this week's color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. The challenge was to make a black and white card with only a splash of color. As you can see, my splash is dark purple.
My little embellishment is a combination of different dies, all layered together. That dark purple color (Concord Crush) is hard to photograph, huh?
My background was created using the Background Basics: Newsprint set from Papertrey Ink... one of the first PTI sets I've purchased in a while.I'm a big fan these days of the sentiment-less card front. I could go back and add something in later if the occasion arose, but you could also just customize your inside. Now to make sure I send the card! I bet there's someone who could use some happy mail :)
So before I head out, I thought I'd share this with you.
I have been asked to be a Guest Designer for The Play Date Cafe! I'll be joining the crew for the challenge on June 9. I am so looking forward to it!Thanks girlies, I hope you have a great day!
