Pucker Up! – PDCC93

Hola Gal Pals!


I’m back with another challenge card – I told you I had a goooood crafting weekend, right?!  And I’ve seriously been having a blast!  Today, I’m sharing a project that I made for the current Play Date Café Color Challenge.  This is only the second time that I’ve played with this challenge . . . it’s a fun one, for sure!  Check out those yummy colors – delicious, right?!  In addition to the colors, I was inspired by the citrus picture in the collage.  My final inspiration came from the sketch challenge over at Denami Designs, even though my card doesn’t qualify (I didn’t use any Denami Design images because I don’t own any – gotta do something about that!)

PRODUCTS USED:
STAMPS:  IMPRESS RUBBER STAMPS (Lemon Slice), PAPER SMOOCHES (Fruitastic), PAPERTREY INK (Polka Dot Basics)
INK:  TSUKINEKO (VersaMark)
PAPER:  STAMPIN’ UP! (Regal Rose CS), FRENCH POPTONE (Wild Cherry CS), NEENAH CLASSIC CREST (Solar White Ultra Smooth CS)

That’s it for me today, friends!  Believe it or not, I have another challenge card to share with you tomorrow, so stay tuned!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a Beautiful Day!

Hola Chicas!!

How is your week going so far?  Mine’s been pretty busy, but a good busy.  We are slowly but surely getting everything ready to head back to Washington for the “summer” (hahaha), so that’s good, I guess.  I really should be packing all of my craft supplies that I’m taking back with me, but I just can’t bring myself to do it just yet.  It’s actually 3:00 a.m. and I woke up out of a dead sleep, having dreamt of this card.  So I figured I might as well get up and create it before I forget it in the morning.  Sick, right?!  LOL

 
I created this for the Play Date Café Color Challenge #78, as well as this week’s Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers (CAS116 – Rule of Threes).  I created the window by using a new die that I got from Papertrey Ink last week.  It’s meant to cut out letter blocks, but I thought it would make a great window die.  And how sweet are those kids playing outside?  I just love silhouettes.  The image is from Great Impressions, and the sentiment is from A Muse Artstamps (before they became A Muse Studio).  I stitched around the outside of the window to ground it, and had to add some pretty satin ribbon, just to add to the sweet playfulness of the card.  I think there’s still a little bit of time to play along with the Play Date Café Color Challenge – and I think there’s a prize involved, so be sure and check it out!

Okay, I guess that’s enough rambling . . . think I’ll head back to bed.  LOL  Hope your day is a beautiful one, and thanks so much for stopping by today!  Oh, and before I forget, I might just have a little secret to share with you all, very, very soon.
