Hi Birdie -

I made a quick little card for the current Play Date Cafe Challenge #166, Black, White and a Splash of Emerald Green.

 

I used my Cricut Artiste cartridge to make my (Topiary) green border and to cut my word bubble. The word bubble stamp which says "hi!" also comes with the cartridge bundle and is probably my favorite from that set! I love all those little flowers surrounding the "hi!" The little bird is a sneak peek from a stamp set called Hello Blooms and the paper is also a sneak peek of the paper pack called For Always. I was intending to do some different things with this card. I was going to paper piece the bird after stamping it -- I wanted the legs to show but I was going to adhere the top of the bird stamped and cut out from plain white cardstock and the layout was going to be completely different...but I liked the bird stamped directly on the patterned word paper and I liked the less fussy look from what I intended so there you go!

Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC92 - Just a Note

My first thought after seeing the colors for the current challenge at The Play Date Cafe was, "Yummy!" The suggested colors are Coral, Petal Pink, and Antique Gold. Interestingly enough, I ended up using some CTMH colors named after desserts: Sorbet and Creme Brulee. Quite yummy!

I think this color combination is just gorgeous and it is one that I don't tend to use it very much so I'm glad it made me think outside of my box.

Supplies used (all CTMH except for ribbon, thread, and nestabilities): (X7131B) Sophia Level 2 paper pack, the patterned paper behind dragon fly is from the retired Life Delights, (D1444) A Little Thanks stamp set, (C1299-retired) Butterfly Kiss-dragonfly image, (Z2114) Cocoa stamp pad, Sorbet cardstock, Creme Brulee cardstock, (Z697) Round Sponge.
