Hi,

Dropping in quickly with my entry into the current Play Date Cafe Challenge #88.

I am currently on holidays with my family but loved this week’s colour combination so much, I had to have a play. I only bought a limited supply of crafty things with me, so I had to make my own flowers – I think they look like poppies. Lots of distress ink here! Not the best photo but you get the idea.

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design (CG245)
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Broken China, Dried Marigold, Barn Door, Scattered Straw, Peeled Paint
Card: Regal Craft Card (white textured square single fold, X-Press-It white blending card
Other Supplies: Blending tool, black brads, ribbon (I coloured it with Broken China distress ink), Glossy Accents (to adhere the flowers and leaves), Tim Holtz ruler (for pin pricking), pin pricking tool and mat

Update 1:
Since coming home from holidays, I thought that this card was missing something – so I added a sentiment – a Kaisercraft ‘Thanks’ rub on. Here is what it looks like now.

Thanks for stopping by,

Marion

Update #2 July 2011:
The first version of this card got me a “Cream in our Coffee” badge at PDCC#88.
