Berry Best Wishes

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 :)

Anya
