Play Date Cafe Challenge #143

Hello, there!

I'm happy to have you stop by for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge #143. I am still really excited to be bringing this to you as a new Design Team member!

We have a fantastic color story this week of Cherry, Mint Julep, and Jade. Yum!

I started by stamping some cream cardstock with the typewriter font from Text It. Then I layered a red die-cut doily and a strip of patterned paper over the bottom of the cream cardstock.

I stamped the strawberry and stem from the scrumptious Big Berries - Strawberry set from Waltzingmouse and added it to a little hand-trimmed tag.  The strawberry is all glittered up and is very sparkly in person.  I added the sentiment and stitched the tag to the cream cardstock before adhering it all to my card base. The little ric-rac border was an afterthought, but I think it adds just the right touch of color.

Now I invite you to play along! Here is this week's color story to get you feeling nice and inspired:

You have until the end of the day EST on Tuesday, August 7th to join us and link up your creation at The Play Date Cafe Blog. While you're there, make sure you also check out the amazing inspiration from the other members of the Design Team!
