Pretty Pastels


Such pretty colors at the Play Date Cafe this week - I had fun with these!  I again used the same stamp as the card below in the next post, but this time I embossed it in white on pale yellow paper, then colored in the pink flowers and leaves, leaving the larger flowers alone.


supplies: white card, pale coral and tulip cardstock,  lawn fawn dp (on large flower), various other scraps of yellow and green dps, Hero Arts CG247 Edged Fabric with Frame, VersaMark ink and white embossing powder, pink and green Memento markers, CL5527 Stitched Frame (large flower and leaves), CL496 Layered Flowers (small flower), CL130 Frames & Messages (sentiment), VersaFine onyx black ink, Basic Grey brad, Fiskars brackets border punch
