Play Date Cafe Challenge

This week the Play Date Cafe challenge (PDCC174) uses colours Amethyst, Emerald and Peridot, when I saw this colour combination I just had to play along, as they work so well together. Oh dear, I missed the deadline to enter...never mind I loved the colours anyway!

Here is my entry

Poppy Power

I used  Les Petites 90-001, Versafine Onyx Black ink with clear embossing powder,  stamped with Blooming Garden 30-155 and coloured with copics (V12, V15, V17, BG23, BG49, BG78 and G5)  and Dahilas 30-159 (for the sentiment). Tip: by cutting the individual words for the sentiment I was able to re-arange them in a vertical format. To finish off the design I used a piece of MT Washi Tape.

I also made a floral envelope to give it that extra special feel.

Don't forget to hop on over to the Penny Black Blog this week for some amazing Clean and Simple stamping inspiration.

    This looks beautiful & I love the way you grounded the flowers using the Washi Tape. The shading is a joy on those petals & I love the crispness of this against your white card base.
