The Play Date Cafe Challenge #72

Hello, friends!  I have a card today for the current Play Date Cafe Challenge #72  using this colorful inspiration:


This color combination was a stretch for me...not colors I would usually reach for, but I'm glad I tried!  Luckily I had some patterned papers that included the inspiration colors; I punched them into squares and dry embossed the dots.  I punched two circles using coordinating paper, adhered to the squares with pop dots for dimension, and added Prima flowers and a pearl accent.  Finally, I stamped the Classic Fabric Design onto the card base and embossed the sentiment in navy blue.  

Materials Used: (CG245) Classic Fabric Design; (CL380) Truly Appreciated; blue embossing powder;
Prima flowers; brad; pearl; patterned paper; square punch; circle punch; pop dots; corner rounder. 

Thanks for stopping by...have a great day!
Judy
