This week's color story from The Play Date Cafe is brought to us for the very first time by our very own Jaclyn Miller! She has recently been named Color Story Coordinator for our challenges. We're all excited for her! Check out the first story, a la Jax:
I leaned heavily on the linen color and took my inspiration from a shirt my 13 YO Birthday Girl owns (it's from Hollister):
And now, my card:
On Sahara Sand cardstock with the same color ink, I stamped the Linen background from Stampin' Up!. I played with a new-to-me punch from EK Success, Double Embossed Dotted Lace. It's just what I was looking for lately in a punch: big scallops.
The flower was made with a SU Sizzix die, Blossom Party, using Sahara Sand and Pink Pirhouette cardstock. The center features a blue and a pink button from my stash, topped with a pearl.
I added a piece of a page from my old Miss Manner's Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior book, then layered a delicious piece of ribbon, then tiny pearls, on top. (I still care about manners very much, but not enough to read about them LOL)
This week our Guest Designer is the oh-so-talented Anya Schrier. She has a unique clean and simple style, touched with vintage, that I absolutely love.
And one lucky player will win a prize from
Hope you join us at The Play Date Cafe this week!

WOW!! What a lovely card, Colleen! Your new punch is super--I love that it embosses the scallops for you. Very cool! And I like the large size of the scallops, too. And did I mention how wonderful that big paper flower is?? You layered it beautifully! So elegant and perfect. Way to go!

Lovely card Colleen. The scallops are awesome and I really like the strip of book page. :o)
How fun! I love the details - that little extra to the scalloped punch is wonderful! I really love the middle of the flower and the way the pearl is off set on the button! Such a fun card and you captured the shirt well! Love the colors you used too. Great job!!!!
