CREATIVITY LIVES HERE: The Play Date Cafe

Friday, March 18, 2011

I have a card I'm proud to share with you today for the Play Date Cafe challenge! These colors are AMAZING together! I think Julie Ranae did a fabulous job choosing them, don't you?! What I love about color challenges is that I get to use color combos that I would have NEVER put together myself!

Be sure to check out the design team's projects using these colors...there are some GREAT ideas there! Also, DeNami Design is sponsoring this challenge, and their design team also made some awesome cards for this challenge, so check them out HERE!! A $25 Gift Certificate is the prize for this week. For my card, I used PTI's Delightful Doilies set, a Spellbinders Label Die, some PTI ribbon, and a few fun embellishments. Thanks for taking a look---I love my blog visitors! ;-)

Hello! It's my first time playing along with The Play Date Cafe challenge...and WHEW,
I've only got a couple hours to spare before the deadline! I saw the colors and COULD NOT
pass this up! I LOVE purple, so I was very excited to make a card for this challenge.
You have to use black & white, and a SPLASH of lilac/purple. Just gorgeous!

This is what I created. I. LUV. IT. I'm such a sucker for girly, pretty, romantic-y designs.

This was a very simple card to make. The lilac part is one stamp from the Papertrey set Giga Guide Lines -- I stamped it twice right next to each other, and put a white pearl in the center.

The patterned paper is actually flocking, so it gives it some extra texture!

Thanks so much for visiting me today!
