Playdate Cafe Challenge

There are some beautiful colors this week to use for this week's Playdate Cafe challenge. Here is my entry. I sketched the flower, colored it with Neocolor II Caran d'Ache water soluable crayons, and touched it up with Prismacolor pencils. Most of the outlining was done with a Staedtler pen.

PDCC & Rainbow Lady's Challenges

This card is for two challenges:
Play Date Cafe Challenge (black with a splash of red)
Rainbow Lady's Challenge (let's emboss it)

The black cardstock is dry embossed with a music folder.
The bird is stamped in clear ink onto red cardstock and embossed with clear embossing powder.
The label shape is really white but looks off-white here.
The red cardstock is mounted on white cardstock, which doesn't show up here.

I thought I'd send this to someone having a 50th birthday, since young people think that is "The Big One" and black might be an appropriate color for the background.

Play Date Cafe

Here is my very simple card for the Playdate Cafe challenge of navy, bubble gum, and lime colors. I enjoyed playing with my punches.

All of my adhering was made using the 3M Advanced Glider, which I got online last year. It is pink and some of the sales go to the Susan G. Kormen for the Cure cause. The pink one can be ordered till the end of 2011, I think. I just ordered refill tapes yesterday at 8 a.m. Today the doorbell rang at 10:30 a.m.. There were my tapes. Is that service or what?!!!  I got them from framingsupplies.com.




Edit:
I have added another card. I painted the flower last night. The green in both cards is Post-it Notes.

The Playdate Cafe

This is my late entry for the Play Date Cafe where the colors this week are coral, petal pink and antique gold. The colors are actually in the background. I used distress inks and some of the Moonglow products. To be sure the pink showed I am using part of the watercolor I did at the end of the week for Paint Party Friday..

PDCC and Rainbow Lady

This is my entry for Rainbow Lady's challenge (a stitch in time) and for Play Date Cafe (fuchsia, eggplant, and orangesickle). My colors sure look different on the screen. The background paper actually does have the eggplant color. The flower is punched out with various punches. My sewing machine and I aren't really on speaking terms so I did faux stitching for Rainbow Lady's challenge. I used eggplant alcohol ink to make the ribbon and a mixture of several colors for the flower and the label.

Chalk flowers in PDCC colors

This entry is for two challenges:

Art Cards - chalk
PDCC - colors given

Playdate Cafe Challenge

The use of these two complementary colors plus grey was the challenge for Playdate Cafe challenge this week.

I have used stamps by Stampin' Up, white and gray cardstock, milled lavender Distress ink, a mixture of bundled sage (D.I.) plus curry (SU), and gray Caran d'Ache watercolor crayon.

I am making a lot of bookmarks/tags to donate to our church bazaar in the fall. I will probably put some text on this one in black ink to finish it off for the sale.

The little grey flowers look blue  on the computer, but they are really grey.

PDCC - #62

This Play Date Cafe theme was a fun challenge. I got to use one of the new Whimsey digi-stamps I recently acquired (mouse in the cupcake). I colored this with my watercolor pencils. Behind the mouse is one of my watercolors. The lace background comes from June.

Rainbow Lady & PDCC

This is my entry for Playdate Cafe (colors of red, pale blue, bright blue, burgundy, and pink) and Rainbow Lady's challenge of Remembrance (use thinking of you and a poppy). This is a watercolor I made a while back and have stored it on my computer. I made a digital card using it.
