Thursday Afternoon Fun??


Welcome back for another installment of my Thursday crafting craziness.  I told you I was going to tackle the Play Date Cafe's  *scary* (for me) color challenge.  I can assure you I have nothing against lemons or the color yellow but *only* yellow and white?  Wow.


Next thing I did was to go in search of a sketch - maybe that would help me figure out what I was going to do.  I found Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge and as soon as I saw it, I knew what I was going to do.  My regular readers probably know EXACTLY where I went with this sketch *smile*...  (Hint: Notice the BIG circle in the middle....*wink*)


So... have you guessed?  Of course you figured it out if you looked at the top header picture.  Don't hate me ~ I *had* to ... yellow ... circle... sunny ... sunshine ...

 

Recipe - Stamps:  Thankful Accents and Accent Notes (Verve)  Ink: Barely Banana  Paper: Summer Sun, Barely Banana, Whisper White, SU! DP  Accessories: Swiss Dots EF, adhesive pearls, paper piercer, Nestabilities

So, there it is - done deal.  :)  I've still got LOTS of time this afternoon to create so we'll see what I can come up with.  Enjoy your Thursday - don't forget "Survivor" tonight! 

Later gators!

Beautiful job on this Melissa...isn't it amazing how many have been so frightened of this color scheme (our DT included) but so far, all the entries are gorgeous!

Thanks for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe!

Hey Melissa, you did a great job on this color challenge. I had to giggle because I hadn't seen what anyone had done until I went to post my card and all I can say is great minds think alike...LOL. I really enjoyed doing this challenge with you girls. WTG!!

Shelley said...

Oh! I had a similar idea...I was thinking of using the Medallion stamp and this sketch for the Play Date Cafe. I'm not sure mine would turn out this good! I love how you've incorporated the Delicate Dots DSP in this card. It's the perfect fit!
