The Play Date Cafe Challenge #65

Hello, friends!  Today I am posting a card I made for my first ever entry into the Play Date Cafe Challenge  using the colors grey, green and orange.  Here is their inspiration photo:


These are not colors I would typically be drawn to, but I am pretty happy with the end result.  (Note that for some reason my orange card stock looks slightly lighter in the photo than it does in person...not sure what's up with that!)  Here is my entry for the challenge:


Hero Arts Stamps Used:  (CM003) Stamp It: Messages;
(S5433) Large Canvas Stripes; (C3256) Three Gems; (CG139) Cling Dots

Other Materials Used:  Martha Stewart border punch; Anna Griffin grey pigment ink;
buttons; floss; grey ribbon; white gel pen; Nestabilities Labels 8; Tim Holtz distress inks


That does it for today.  Thanks for stopping by...take good care!
Judy
