Play Date Cafe Challenge!

Hey everyone! Hope your all having a great week so far! I can't complain here. :) So, my post today is for The Play Date Cafe Challenge! If you haven't checked it out yet, you should!! :)


Here's my card!


Some fun colors....makes me feel and think of 'paradise'!! Now, I'm looking at my card in two ways. Either I nailed it, with the colors? Or completely, failed it with the colors? I went with the best I could to match up the colors. I feel my card came out great but then, I'm thinking "maybe I didn't use enough of one?...Maybe I should have done something differently/else?". I really don't know, but I said "I'm entering it anyways!".

I had fun making this card! I was in total flow of everything (mostly because I had my headphones in and music playing, blocked everything out)...I stamped my image on and started chalking away, with my colors. I chose not to put any quote because I wanted my flower to be the attention. I did add, a few pearls. And I did use foam squares on the back of my image, when attaching to my card (I felt it needed to be raised?). Overall, I"m happy with it! :)

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!! Don't forget to play along at, The Play Date Cafe!! :)
