The Play Date Cafe #186

Welcome to this week's color challenge from The Play Date Cafe. It's time for everybody's favorite, the color splash challenge. Our splash colors this week are black, white and a splash of nectarine. I might have used a little more than a "splash," but I really wanted to use my new rose stamp and I couldn't resist. This rose is from the Technique Tuesday Garden Society Series. I jut love it. I colored it with copics and used Nestabilities. The ink is black Memento and the paper is Nene Solar White.

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp. One lucky winner will get a great gift certificate. I hope you will play with us this week and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. Thanks for stopping by.

It's that time again - time for a new color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. Our colors this week are Magenta, Teal and Light Gray. Our sponsor this week is Great Impressions Rubber Stamps and they graciously provided all the design team members with their stamps to use in our projects this week. I love this scene of houses and this sentiment. It's a perfect housewarming card. I colored the houses "loosely" with Copic markers. I added some tiny pearls and magenta rhinestones for accents.

One lucky winner will get a FAB prize from Great Impressions. I hope you will join us. These colors are bold and fun. I can't wait to see what you create with these colors this week!!

Welcome to this week's new color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. Our colors are Smokey Plum, Cherry Blossom and Lava. I wanted to use this new Memory Box dress die for the first time. I found a tag I had in the lava color. I make tons of tags from the left over ink I have when I make art journal pages. I also made the dresses from tags that I had. I inked the edges with Distress Ink and added orange tinsel to the dresses. The words are Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers. I added some pink enamel dots to finish it off. 

I really hope you will be able to play along with us this week. I love these colors and cannot wait to see all the gorgeous entries I'm sure we will have this week!

Our prize is coming out of The Play Date Cafe vault and I hear it's all about SRM Stickers. Be sure to stop by the blog for more info. Thanks for stopping by!!

Welcome to this week's color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. This week our colors are Navy, Emerald and School Bus. I actually made a card this week - it felt good!! I moved into my parents house last week and I almost have my crafty stuff stored in a way that I can get to everything and I know where most things are. It's the best I've had it in months. For my card I pulled out the American Crafts Glitter Tape. I alternated the green and blue tape for the background. Then I found a little yellow polka dot envelope that is the perfect size for a gift card and added a strip of glitter tape the envelope and then dressed it up a little with these awesome pearl accents provided to us by Elizabeth Mindemann from Close to My Heart. I liked that they had sticky backs and weren't brads. It made them so easy to use. Our lucky winner this week will win a Close To My Heart prize provided by the very generous Elizabeth.

It's time for another color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. This week our colors are Maroon, Poppy and Soft Jade. This week I have another pair of earrings. As some of you may have read on my blog a few weeks ago I am in the process building a home. This week I sold my house and moved in with my parents until my new house is ready in 4-6 months. My crafty things are all over and it's hard to find things right now, but I did happen to find a little box of beads and earring wires so I decided to make these simple earrings. So easy - anyone can do it. You just need wire, beads and needle nose pliers. The colors in person are closer to the color story picture, but when I took the picture they changed a little; however, they are still close!!

Our sponsor this week is My Creative Classroom. Be sure to play with us. Our lucky winner will win a class form My Creative Classroom - that's an awesome prize!!
