Hiya!
I'm here this morning to share the fruits of my crafty labors last night. I feel like I've been really out of my routine for the whole month of August, and am finally getting back to things being normal. I was glad to have the chance to sit down and create.
I made this little pretty for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge. This is our color story for this week:
Doesn't Jaclyn do an amazing job putting these together? I just love to look at all those pretty photos together.
Perhaps I've mentioned how much I have been loving these Wplus9 stamps? I can't wait until the new release countdown begins.. I used the Flora & Fauna I set for this card.
I started by stamping the dogwood branch in Coffee Archival Ink and then cut it out. I used chalk pastels to color the flowers... I love the soft look this gives, and it was perfect for this color challenge with the soft pastel colors.
The patterned paper I adhered to my card base is from Bo Bunny's et cetera Collection. It is a little difficult to see, but I also die cut a piece of the same patterned paper with the Scalloped Oval Die and then punched a small hole in each of the scallops. I adhered my flowers over top of this with dimensional adhesive.
So soft and pretty! I so enjoyed playing along with this challenge. Glad to see you here today, I hope your day is fantastic!
