PDCC 68

Good morning bloggies! It's a wonderful, sunny Saturday morning here in NY. And it's the perfect time for some card making. It seems that a lot of the challenges I used to love to join are gone now.  I remember when I would try to join all of them on days like this. It's really good that there are still great challenges online and new ones seem to pop up. Speaking of challenges, here's one that I love to follow. The Play Date Cafe. I try to join in whenever I can. Except for those times when the colors are so very challenging! You know me, I'm afraid of colors that are too bright! PDCC 68 was perfect though. One of my favorite combinations...pink and kraft...



Look at all this shabby goodness! Oh course I couldn't let this one pass by without playing! Here's my take on this challenge. I stamped Hero Art's Fabulous Flourish on pink patterned paper. I had no idea the stamp was going to be HUGE when I ordered it. Haha! I was shocked when I saw it. It's gorgeous though!!! :)

I also stamped some Victoria Frippery (WMS) on a panel of vintage cream cardstock and inked the edges. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, Signature Greetings. That beautiful vintage digital image is from Iralamija shop on etsy.com. If you don't know Beatriz Jennings (impossible!), then you should go take a look at her blog and her store! She's a shabby chic/vintage guru!!! There's soooo much inspiration there.



Well, I'm off to do some chores. Hopefully I'll have a bit more time to make a few more cards. I'll be back late tonight for sure, for the Curtain Call Color Challenge! See you all later! :)
