Play Date Cafe


The challenge for the Play Date Cafe this week is to use the colors: mint, soft yellow, coral, and tulip. I was fortunate in that I found decorative papers in my stash with just those colors.

The background patterned paper was run through the Sizzix using a SU embossing folder.

The top flower is from some wrapping paper I got while on vacation.

The center flower is some glittered soft butter color cardstock.

The lower flower is some patterned paper from a stack I received at Christmas.

I used a cream colored cardstock for the card itself.

    I love the way you put things together. This is very sophisticated and yet looks casual. The kraft card in the centre really showcases everything.
