PDCC96

Good morning lovelies!  Did you have a nice weekend?  Ours was just the right combination of relaxation and planned activities.  A nice balance for us :)

Amidst this balancing act of a weekend I got some crafting in and I was able to participate in THE PLAY DATE CAFE CHALLENGE for this week.






When I was heading to the website, I was thinking I would make a masculine card.  Then I saw the colors and that idea went right out the window.  I'm sure there are many talented crafters out there who could create a manly card with these three colors, but I am not one of them.  This is what I came up with.


The idea for this card came to me almost immediately after seeing the colors.  I thought it would look SO cool to emboss with Ivory on Ivory.  What do you think?


Here's a close up of the embossing.  I used just a touch of coral and mint green.  I really wanted the Ivory to be the star of this card :)

I'm looking forward to a quiet week this week.  Heading into a three day weekend for us, yippee!  Enjoy your Monday and I'll chat with you tomorrow my friends.  Thanks for stopping by today.

  5. This is super elegant! Love it! And tone on tone embossing is probably even cooler in person! I am sure that you will get to do that manly car eventually! Have a happy Monday! -Amanda
