How are you today? It is Tuesday, and it is going to rain (again), but I'm feeling pretty great - I made something! I feel like it has been weeks since I've been in my studio just to play, the kitchen had been eating up all of my (very limited) free time. But now the kitchen is almost done. I just need to paint my windowsills and door frames and that's it!
I made today's card for this week's Play Date Cafe color challenge (PDCC82). So glad to be back playing along! Here is our color story for this week:
This is one of my favorite color combinations (and happen to be the colors I used in my kitchen!). Here is my card:
The label image is from Very Vintage Labels 18. I stamped the label first that was going to be stamped with the text, and then built the rest of the design around it. A post-it note was used to mask the label to stamp the text inside. I am addicted to Say It Loud - I just love all those little phrases. 
Before adhering the cream piece to my card base, I punched two small holes above and below my sentiment label and threaded some baker's twine through it. I wanted some twine on the card, but didn't want it to overlap the design - problem solved! Plus, it draws your eye to the sentiments and creates some dimension on the card. I just love these colors together!Before I take off, can I share something else with you? I made this in Ceramics class.
Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen? Oh I love him. I started with a tall bowl that I flipped upside down. Then I hand built the rest of the design - he's a luminary! Even the glaze turned out just as I had hoped - that is unusual! I have some more ceramics projects to share in the coming weeks, they aren't quite finished yet, but let's just say that some of the images from the Dainty Doilies sets look awesome in clay! :)Have a super day!
