Play Date Cafe...Thanks So Much

Oh my goodness, the stars were with me when I made this card. I pulled out this decorative gift bag to load up with some shower goodies for my dear friend Stephanie and there was this mint green flower on it that just didn't match with the rest of my theme of black, white and red. So I pulled the flower off and went to her bridal shower. Fast forward to Saturday evening and I'm getting my card ready for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge. Wouldn't you know that the flower is the exact color I need for this week's color story? How's that for luck! Anyway, here is the color palette provided by Sarah:



And as super duper luck would have it, I'm using some fantastic card bases by Creative Cuts and this one just happened to match my color scheme as well:


All I had to do was add that soft, blue bow and one of my favorite Verve stamps and easy peasy done!

  3. Being a night owl, I seem to stumble on your site just as you are finishing another brilliant creation! It is so clean and simple, yet very nice. I like the edge a lot. The flower is perfect! it is nice when a project comes together nicely. I hate when I stare for hours and nothing comes to me!
