My Entry in the Play Date Cafe Challenge!

I loved the image for this Challenge the colours are really lovely....

So I rummaged through all my bits and bobs to come up with something turquoise, red and orange and brown
and then put together this card....

I chose an orange base card then added a deeper orange paper that had red swirls on it.  I then added an oval that I cut out with wavy scissors from a turqoise Hambly paper called 'Brocade'. on top of that I put another cut out oval from a favourite paper of mine called 'Gypsy Sisters' from KaiserCraft papers its a deep turqoise and red paisley pattern!  Then I added a decoupage lady who had pale peach/orange dress and hat on to compliment. then I made a little tag out of corregated brown card and added a cream paper on top and stamped 'With Love' on it.

I started this card the other day and only just got round to finishing it today.  It is a white base card that I put on a brown, blue cream striped paper that I cut out with zig-zag scissors. I then added a turquoise card stamped with a brown WaltzingMouse vintage 10 stamp set which I then stamped with two little squirls from the same WM stamp set. I then stamped the words 'Top Bloke!' from another stamp set. Lastly, I added a gold 'Happy Birthday' sticker.

I took a lemon base card and added a paper from part of a 12x12 Websters pages called 'Your Life. Beautiful'. I tore around the top edge then rubbed some brown ink round the edges to match the fountain. On the opposite side of the same paper I cut out the red flower and then placed that in the right hand corner on sticky pads. I then added another little topper which had cream linen that I brused with brown ink and it has a little square cardboard with the work 'love' on it. I also added a brown card butterfly with little gems on and finally, stamped in red 'Just for You' - I then placed it on the printer ready to photograph it and guess what?...... I went and smudged it!!!!  So as it was a shiny card I rubbed it off and thought 'Ooh, that looks cool', so did all around the card with a tissue and the ink!  I then stamped the sentiment again - only this time let it dry before photgraphing it! lol
