Hello there. How is Tuesday going for you?
It was supposed to be rainy here all day today, but the sun is peeking out between the clouds. Guess I can't complain about that, huh?
I squeezed in a card last night for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge. I have some new Wplus9 goods that were just waiting patiently to be inked.
I love this peachy orange color for the berries. Just a little different, but so fun!
I started by die cutting the shapes I wanted to use from Vintage Cream cardstock using the Fresh Picked Die. Then I went in and stamped the leaf and berry images from Fresh Picked using this week's challenge colors. I really like these colors together!
I inked the edges of the leaves and berries with Antique Linen Distress Ink and layered them on a circle die cut from Groovy Guava cardstock. The cute sentiment is also from Fresh Picked, I love the font combination.
I layered the berries and circle onto a die cut doily and then onto my card base. I used patterned paper from MME for the base. Some Star Dust Stickles were added to the raspberries as a finishing touch to make it all nice and sparkly.
This card is an example of just why I love playing along with the Play Date Cafe color challenges - I would probably not have thought to pull these colors together, but I really love the result of them all together. Especially with the cute, vintagey berry motif!
Have a sweet day my dears :)
