Play Date Cafe

Love the colours this week - in fact I just love that kitchen - not that I would like to wipe all that stainless steel down mind you.


Anyhow, I once had a card sent to me which was predominantly lime green with a kind of purpley cranberry colour for the stamping on it and I fell in love with the colour combination there and then.  No way could I get away with Cranberry looking like deep purple for this challenge and I didn't like my purple cardstock - just not right - so I ended up choosing navy blue.

My sole piece of "nice" looking navy had a hole punched in it so I decided to put a lime green piece behind and then I played about with the lime green and another small piece of the navy.  Next up was it to be silver or grey?  Found some grey sparkly paper and decided it would be easy to punch out with one of my MS punches - had to use my new one.  

Subject - quick decision based on size of stamps that were handy, butterflies.  A few die cuts and voila - here it is - my entry for The Play Date Cafe this week.


Now I am tired, been up since ages ago as still coughing and feeling grotty.  Might just have to go back to bed.

Oh Wow, this is excellent Neet. You've really nailed this colour scheme. I didn't think anyone could like that kitchen haha. Shows what I know :) Love how clean styled and professional this looks. Px
