Hi there! I'm back with a card for a challenge that's new to me: the Play Date Cafe Challenge. I really enjoy color challenges in particular, so when I saw this one I knew I'd like to try it out. I paired it up with the sketch at Everything but the Kitchen Sink, which is a fantastic clean and simple design.
I just found these gorgeous mulberry paper mini roses at Michaels, and I knew they would be perfect for this color challenge. I stamped an image from PTI's Turning a New Leaf and added three of the blooms. I stitched a strip of Lavender Moon punched with my favorite EK Success border punch behind the focal image. The kraft background is embossed with PTI's Woodgrain impression plate and sponged lightly with white ink to bring out the pattern. I truly love this plate!
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Plum Pudding, Lavender Moon, white), Bazzill (kraft)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Turning a New Leaf, Signature Greetings)
Ink: Ranger (Eggplant), Hampton Art (green), JoAnn (white)
Tools: Spellbinders (square, scalloped square dies), EK Success (border punch)
Accessories: Michaels (paper roses), thread
I really love the simplicity of this design and how it turned out! I'm so glad you stopped by today! Thanks for all your kind comments!

You answered my question...about the flowers. They are the perfect touch to your card! I do love the woodgrain and how you sponged it to make it pop (great tip.) I was hoping to get my chance at this challenge before it ends, too...need to get crackin'!
