For You

 

Hi everyone how was your weekend?

 

Mine was great!  I caught up with a friend of mine I have know since were 5 years old and every time we catch up it is wonderful.

 

Our children all played together and it was nice to get away for the weekend.  I think sometimes we forget to stop and just enjoy times like this.

 

That was my weekend but now on to the card I have created for two challenges.

 

The sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary and the current Play Date Cafe Challenge.

 

 

 

From the picture inspiration at the Play Date Cafe I have used Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz and and Very Vanilla.

 

I have used Riding Hood Red for the base of my card and I have also used some of the Botanical Gazette DSP from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Nature Walk, Clearly for You

Card: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive Very Vanilla
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  3/8” (1cm) Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I used a dauber to add a touch of Cherry Cobbler to the edges of the DSP.

 

I love the image of the butterfly on the DSP, they just seem to be flying in the background.

 

Thanks for visiting again, please come back soon.

 

Until next time keep creating…. Meg x
