Just in Time: Play Date Cafe



I am cutting it pretty close, but I am making my second post of the day today in order to sneak in a couple of cards for this week's Play Date Cafe PDCC108 challenge.  You can see my first post today here.

The colors we were given to work with were maroon, copper and tumeric.  I used Scarlet Jewel and Terra Cotta Tile papers and Amuse Currant ink and Colorbox Roussilon and Amber inks.

I wanted to use PTI's Simple Sunflower stamps and dies, since I hadn't really used them much.  I couldn't decide if the sunflowers should be Currant or Roussilon, so I ended up making two cards.  The first card was inspired by this card by Amy at Stamp-n-Paradise.




Which card do you like better? 


Supplies Used (PTI):

Stamps: Simple Sunflower, Communique Curves Sentiments, Text Style
Paper:  Rustic Cream, Terra Cotta Tile
Other:  Quatrefoil Die, Simple Sunflower dies

Thank You
Stamps:  Simple Sunflower, Verve thank you, IO CAC Damask
Paper:  Rustic Cream, Scarlet Jewel
Other:  Simple Sunflower dies


Thanks for Visiting

  1. Wow, they are both stunning! My favourite, however, if pressed to choose one, would be the top one-- I love how you layered the Quatrefoil cover plate over the text background!

  3. Joyce, I like the first one better than the second. Not that I don't like the second one but the quatrefoil dies takes the cake for me :) Great take on the colors :)

  9. They are both just beautiful but if I have to choose, I would take the second card. I just love the look of that die and you are just so creative in using it.

  10. I like them both, but the first one is my favorite. I didn't know you got that die! Your card is so striking, colors are wonderful and the ribbon across them ties the whole thing together. Great job today!
