One morning, my daughter was on the computer and logged onto Kmart's home page. Bedding was on the first page, and though I couldn't see the picture clearly from where I sat, an idea was born for this Play Date Cafe challenge: Color Splash using Brown.
I ADORE this image Jax found! It's one of the neatest bunny drawings I've ever seen.
Here's my Christmas-in-Spring card:
I used the ornament from Flourishes' All That Glitters, and the sentiment from Paperwhites. The single brown ornament was stamped on a scrap piece of white cardstock, colored, trimmed and popped up on foam dimensional stickers.
Some lace and bling were in order, too:
Our sponsor this week is The Twinery. Don't you just looove those gorgeous twine colors they sell?
I can't wait to see what you all do with this week's colors. I believe I could do a dozen more cards in this palette!
Thanks for joining me. :-)

Stamps: All That Glitters, Paperwhites - Flourishes
Paper: white - PTI; Early Espresso (border) - SU
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black - Tsukineko
Fibers: laces - JoAnn's; silver elastic cord
Other: oval punch - SU; rhinestones; 1/8" punch - Fiskars; Copic markers
Dimensions: 4.25" x 5.5"
