Play Date Cafe Challenge 27

Beautiful colours, this week, from Mona over at the Play Date Cafe blog. She has chosen light blue, light green and off white. I have used 'Shabby Shutters' and 'Tumbled Glass' distress inks; SU 'Polka Dot' background stamp; Darkroom Door flower and sentiment stamps; Martha Stewart butterfly punches and EK Success corner punch.

Play Date Cafe Challenge 26

After about 5 attempts I have finally got a card that I'm more or less happy with! I found it really hard to use this week's colours, but that's why I like the Play Date Cafe challenges - they give my brain a good workout!

I have used Stampin' Up pp and sentiment stamp; Inkadinkado dress stamp, coloured with Copics; Hero Arts text stamp and Martha Stewart and EK Success punches.

Happy Birthday

Hubby's off playing golf, so I decided to make an easel card for my friend's birthday. He can't believe his luck at the moment, cos I keep suggesting he plays golf so I can sneak into my craft room for a play lol!
The bird punch, papers, card and ink are SU; the border punch is Martha Stewart and the circles are Nesties.

I struggled to pick the right shades for this week's Play Date Cafe colours. The colours are plum, lavender and cream, so I figured if I used SU card and inks in 'Perfect Plum and Lavender lace' I should be ok. I have also used Hero Arts 'Antique Flowers' background stamp, Justrite stampers border stamp, SU sentiment stamp, Martha Stewart border punch and Nesties.
