The Play Date Cafe Challenge #66

It's my favorite day of the week once again - the day I get to play along with The Play Date Cafe challenge! This week we have a color splash to inspire you. Here's how it inspired me:


Yes that's right, the color is a gorgeous light purple! Swoon! In case you haven't figured it out by now... I love purple!


I kept my card pretty simple. I embossed one of my favorite new Hero Arts stamps, Classic Fabric Design, in black. I found some satin ribbon in my (embarrassingly massive) ribbon stash that matched the color splash really well. And voila, a card is born!

Now you need to go check out what my PDCC sisters were up to this week!

Julie Ranae * Sarah Anderson * Savannah O'Gwynn * Ruby 2 Shoes * Andrew Ewen * Fiona Shultz * Jaclyn Miller * Jinny Newlin * Michele Gross * Tracey Kuzniak * Colleen Dietrich

    Libby, I too love your large damask stamp! I'm a huge fan of damask stuff. And that (embarassingly large) satin ribbon only gives more sumptuousness to your already elegant card! Love what you did with all our names / links, too.

    You can share some of your overly large ribbon stash with me, I wouldn't complain. :) I love that purple ribbon and you've splashed it in there so well.

    Your embossing is scrumptious, and that big, gorgeous ribbon is the perfect, finishing touch!
