So the playdate cafe had another fab challenge. PDCC67.
Wow and what a chanllenge it was! I never and i mean NEVER use these colors together. Not sure why...i think they look quite lovely :) Again with the foil i know, i know you guys are probably getting sick of seeing it, but i'm hooked.
I started with some patterned paper from the Que sera collection from K&Company then sanded the edges and mounted it on a piece of purple cardstock. The raised piece I cute a border piece with my cricut machine using the storybook cartridge and used it as a mask. I sponged spun sugar distress ink with some purple pigment inks then aged it with a bit of vintage photo. I recently bought this stamp set from walmart for $1 and it's from autumn leaves. So i embossed that then used bleach in certain spots to lighten it. I alose bleached around the edges with my brush just to make it stand out from the matting a little more. The hearts are all cut using the george cartridge and the silver ones i ran through my cuttlebug. Finished with some red ribbon and I think i managed to encompass all the colors :)
Thanks for checkin it out. Have a fab day guys!
