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.

  2. Phew at last. Another lovely card. I'm sure the first ones were just as lovely. Not sure why you fret so much cos everything you do is great even when you don't like it.

  3. Lovely use of the colors! It took me around 4 tries with lots of extra pieces left when I finally got to my card too! I think this is beautiful and well worth the effort! Thanks for playing again at PDCC!

  7. Yes I'm struggling too :) and I agree with Karen, I bet if I saw the first five attempts, I would think they were your usual stunningly high standard :) That said, I love this card and the vibrant blue dress is very striking. Px
