PDCC #55

Hi all, today I have a card for the Play Date Cafe Challenge, which is based on this pic:



I must confess, that I found this one a trifle tricky, but I persevered, and this is the result:


I can't seem to put the kraft card down lol! Layered up some V & A patterned paper onto some burgundy bazzill, and cut some labels using Nestabilities Labels 10. Stamped the dotted border on the larger label with WMS Very Vintage Labels 10. Used a black jelly roll pen to dot the smaller label.


Stamped the tree from WMS Sewing Box Christmas and the little baubles were stamped in Memento inks Danube Blue, Lady bug Red and Rosebud. The star was stamped in Distress ink Spiced Marmalade. Stamped all these little baubles several times, and stamped the star and pot twice and popped them onto the tree with some foam dots.



Added the sentiment and the snowflake before adding Glossy accents to the baubles, star and pot.

Finally added some pink ribbon and some of the fluffy ribbon (which I think came from one of my children's magazines!), and assembled.

Not too sure about this one, I feel it needs a little something - it may get some gems on before the day is out!!

I am entering this into the following challenges:
