Had a playdate at the cafe ;)



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!
