Daffodil, hydrangea, kiwi and cherry - our bright, primary palette this week at The Play Date Cafe.
You know me, I shy away from brights, so again I turn to lots of white with just shots of color:
The bicycle, basket and chevron stripe come from Market Street Stamps, "Riding By". I won this set last month and this is my first chance to use it. Love it! The sentiment is Hero Arts.
I made a set of these for my girls to use. They are flat - great for mailing - and I only added that little bit of twine for this card you see. I thought it looked a little plain for blogging. ;-)
Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp:
We hope you come play with us. We'd love to see what *you* will create!
Thanks for coming by today. I always appreciate your visit.
Dimensions: 4.25" x 5.5"
