The Purple Hat

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share a card with you I made for the challenge at The Play Date Cafe. Ruby 2 Shoes, designer at the Play Date Cafe, host the challenge and the following magnificent photo is the inspiration for the color challenge this week:

The colours remind me of happy spring colours but also showcase a gentle touch of softness. For my card I used a stamp from a local stamp company, Great Impressions (South Africa), and layered the image on purple and blue tissue paper to add softness. Hope you like my card. I linked the card to the following challenges:

• The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC74 (ends 03/29) – White, Purple and Blue
• Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #75 (ends 03/31) – Pearls and Swirls
• Stampin’ For The Weekend #6 (ends 04/07) – For Mum / Mother’s Day

• One Stitch At A Time OSAAT#55 (ends 04/02) – Mother’s Day / Babies
• Scrapbook Sisters Card Challenge#28 (ends 03/29) – Anything Goes

 

I used the following to create the card:

• White, purple and blue cardstock
• Purple and blue tissue paper
• Great Impressions (South Africa) stamp F1645
• Chriswick clear stamp “Script”
• Marianne Design Creatables  LR0116
• Guipere lace
• Pearls
• Seam binding
• Paper roses
• Lyra-Rembrandt Aquarelle water-colour pencils
• Stickles “Lavender”
• Skwiglues “Baby Blue”

And that is my creation for the weekend, I would love to hear what you think of my effort. Have a wonderful week and happy crafting.

Regards from South Africa,
