The Play Date Cafe Challenge #71

This week's Play Date Cafe challenge is a Color Splash! YAY! Black and white with a splash of color... I chose to make my splash with a pretty Caribbean teal!


The Hero Arts Starburst is stamped in Tumbled Glass Distress ink and then coated with Stickles. Then I stamped it again in black, just cutting out the center - which I coated with Glossy Accents. Shiny and sparkly stuff makes me happy!


The fun thing about our Color Splash this week?? It's a choose your own splash 'Player's Choice' week!! You can use a splash (just a SPLASH, not a SOAKING!) :-) of any color you wish, along with your black and white! Fun, yes??!


The centers of my Starbursts have yummy Caribbean twine from The Twinery, who happens to be our sponsor this week!!


Wouldn't you want to win something this yummy??? Play along with us and you might!!


Did you know that our own Julie Ranae is the Design Team Coordinator over at The Twinery?? Yup, it's true! So we're super proud to have them as a sponsor this week!

Now check out the fabulous creations from my PDCC sisters!
