Golden Yellow, Pacific and Cobalt are the bright, happy colors this week at The Play Date Cafe. They totally remind me of sunny, summer days.
I first tried a more vintage style card and completely failed, so I went CAS instead - that's my usual go-to solution for a tricky color combo.
I used Pacific Point, Summer Sun and Brilliant Blue cardstock, punched and layered onto an embossed card base. The sentiment is Verve - Celebration of Thanks.

Check out what my stamping sisters did for the challenge this week HERE. One of the things that I love about our team is the diversity in card-making styles. :-)
Thanks for joining me today!
