The Play Date Cafe

Hi all, today I have a card for this week's new Play Date Cafe challenge. This week's colours are
Raspberry, Honey Mustard and Harbor.


So using the closest colour inks I could, i used a new stamp set i treated myself to last week, from a new British company called Uniko Studio. I have used the new stamp set called Time.



I have made (unusually for me!) a one layer card, using a white linen card base.
I then stamped the floral images from the stamp set ine Encore Brilliance Metallic Blue, Adirondack Peach Bellini, and Versacolor Raspberry.




I added some gems to the floral centres for some sparkle.




Inside i stampe the clock face in Peach Bellini, and stamped over the sentiment and clock hands in Tuxedo Black.




A lovely colour combination this week, although my original idea using an entirely different stamp set didn't work out. These new stamps are so versatile, and the sentiments are Time themed too, a really great set.

I may be back with another card for this challenge, as I have stamped the flowers separately for a little relaxing decoupaging later!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Those are neat stamps from the new company, Pauline. I like the flower-inside-a-clockface stamp! You used colors that go reaaallly well with our hues this week. And isn't a one layer card refreshing to do once in a while??

Thanks for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe!

So pretty, Pauline! I love that those stamps could be medallions or flowers. Great use of the colours and I love the contrasting bling centres!
