PDCC63

A colour challenge this week from The Play Date Cafe


Well I nearly forgot to post this card. This is for the Play Date Cafe challenge.
I struggled at first with this one due to the colours, wasn't really sure what I was going to do, until I sat down and had a think about it, with the colours in front of me and then I thought I might just go to the wonderful Bigshot machine and my dies to see what I can come up with. I did plan for no stamping this time, but I did manage to sneak in the tag from the Perfect Punches stamp set. Here is the card that I came up.


I have used the Brushed Gold card stock for the main card and then Garden Green to cut out my flower stem, which is the sizzix die Cherry Blossom and then with my Trio Flower punch I punched out the flowers in the brushed silver cardstock. I have stamped the tag in metallic gold ink onto very vanilla cardstock and hung it over the branch with silver cord. I added a touch of crimping to the right top hand side and some paper piercing to the bottom right hand side. I am happy with how it has turned out even if I do say so myself, definitely very different for me.

Thanks for stopping by
