Today I wanted to share my card for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #81! When I first saw the color combo I thought, psht no problem! But then I got to working on my card and it was kind of hard incorporating that gray. I must say though, I love these colors together! Here's the inspiration picture:
I started this card off with that little advertisement piece. I went to my local scrapbook store on Saturday and bought a 12x12 sheet of journaling type pieces from Crate Paper (Emma's Shoppe) and this was one of them. I literally built the rest of the card around this one little rectangle. I've never done that before and it was definitely and interesting way to work :)
Paper: PTI; Simply Chartreuse and Plum Pudding, DCWV; Gray and Lavender, Crate Paper; Emma's Shoppe
Stamps: PTI: Library Ledger Stamp, Autumn Abundance and It's Official
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Other: Ribbon, American Crafts; Stick Pins, Making Memories; Buttons, PTI; EK Success Embossed Curve Punch
