The Play date Cafe

Happy Tuesday all, I have a sweet card today for a very good friend, using the colours from this week's Play Date Cafe.


I have used my new set from Avery Elle, Fanfare to create this sweet bow topped cake.


I stamped the art deco scroll in Memento Summer sky and Dried Marigold Distress Inks onto some white card, and mounted onto some sky blue card.


I then stamped the cake image and stand in Antique Linen Distress ink, and added the bows in summer Sky and Dried Marigold. I then stamped some extra bows in blue, and used the clear outline stamp to make them pop, cut out and attached with pop dots.


Finally for a little sparkle I added some blue gems to the little bows, and an inside panel with the art deco design in Summer Sky and Dried Marigold.

I wopuld also like to enter this into Tuesday Throwdown, as my stamps are brand new!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
