Less Is More week 122 and The Play Date Cafe #184

Hello, lovely crafters and bloggers.

This week's Less Is More challenge is a colour challenge - use the colour of your front door and here is my card. My front door is white with a Georgian panel in the top half which I've used as inspiration

This week's lovely Play Date Cafe colours - Smokey plum - Cherry Blossom - Lava also provided inspiration and the flower is made using Memory Box Cherry Blossom die (window die also by Memory Box).

For the panel behind the window, I inked using a little sponge and 3 TH distress inks - Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet and Barn Door, then splashed with water. Sorry about the shadows on the photo, it's that time of day!

Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely evening.

The Play Date Cafe #178

Hi everyone, here's a one layer card I made using this week's Play Date Cafe colours.  Flower stamps are from Stampin' Up Summer Silhouettes, sentiment by PTI.

This is another card I made using the colours and the same stamp set, which has more "stuff" on it. I wasn't that pleased with it as I often I find it easier to keep things more simple.

Thank you for stopping by, have a nice day!

The Play Date Cafe #175 and Retrosketches #57

Hi everybody, and welcome to new member Cathy.

The mojo is a bit nojo these last few days, but when I saw the lovely Spring colours at Play Date Cafe this week they inspired me to make a card using this week's Retrosketches sketch. It was quite a simple card just using some papers from the stash, punched flowers and twine.

Thank you for looking!
