The Play Date Cafe #101 - For You

Hi there,,
Today's post is for The Play Date Cafe Challenge this week.  This was an interesting colour challenge and first thoughts where to make a male card, especially after taking into consideration the featured picture but I decided to try for a more feminine card.  For the flowers I used Riding Hood Red and Basic Grey ink.  The Basic Grey really makes the red pop. I sponged and distressed the edges of the main image with the Cutter Tool and stamped off the background elements a couple of times and then used my Colour Spritzer Tool to add the splatter of colour.  I like how it came together.

This card was awarded the Cream in Our Coffee Award at the Play Date Cafe this week.
Supplies:
Stamps:  S/U's Field Flowers, French Foliage, Tiny Tags
Card:  Basic Grey, Riding Hood Red, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla
Ink: Basic Grey, Riding Hood Red, Cajun Craze
Embellishments:  Lace, Vintage Brad
Tools:  Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper EB Folder, Cutter Tool, Sponges, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Jewelry Tag Punch, Colour Spritzer Tool, Dimensionals, Dble Sided Tape
Thanks' for poppin in today.
Hugs,
Cat's Ink Siggy
