Play Date Cafe and Card Patterns

Happy Friday!  If you live in the northeast, I hope you have been enjoying this snowy month of January! However, I think we've had enough snow for a while.  We now have a  wall of snow on both sides of the sidewalk that lead up to the front steps.  I kind of like walking between the walls, I just hope the walls don't get any higher!  Today I made one card for two challenges.  I used the card sketch from Card Patterns and the color palette from the Play Date Cafe to create this card.







The  challenge this week at the Play Date Cafe was to create a project using  to a splash of lilac/purple with black and white,




and here is this weeks sketch from Card Patterns





I used three stamp sets to create this card.  First I used Vintage Text from CHF ( too bad they went out of business) and Ornamental Beauty also from  CHF for the sentiment.  I then used the Classic Fabric Design stamp from Hero Arts.  I like the look of text under a design, so I stamped the Vintage Text once in black and then in lavender.  I stamped over the lavender text with the fabric design stamp with black Palette ink.  To separate the the fabric design from the black text, I added a thin strip of black paper. I then punched out the ornate border from the same lavender text.  To create the layered sentiment I began with a black lace circle cut from Spellbinder's eyelet lace die. I layered a small doily on top of that, then  added the sentiment.  Using lavender tulle I cut out two circles to layer underneath the Prima flower. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to take a peek  and let's hope we get a break from the snow!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Susan
