The Play Date Cafe #140


Welcome to our latests color challenge at The Play Date Cafe. This week our colors are Caribbean Blue, Shoreline and Sunshine. For my card, I used my Stampin' Up Pennant punch for the banner and attached it to the card with twine. I found some papers that I thought matched the colors almost perfectly and I colored the letters with a Copic marker. 


Materials
1. Card stock - Swiss Dots (Bazzill Basics), Lauderdale (Hero Arts), Out of Print (Basic Grey)
2. Letters - American Crafts
3. Twine - Dialy Junque (Pink Paislee)
4. Button Candy Dots (Pebbles)
5. Pennant Punch (Stampin Up)
6. Copic Marker -Duck Blue

You should come play with us this week. One lucky winner will get a great prize from Simon Says Stamp.


We have another great guest designer joining us this week - the uber talented Teri Anderson! Teri is one of my favorite designers and I love visiting her blog for inspiration. Be sure to click here and check out her blog and leave her some love.
