It's not that often I get to make something for a challenge ... The Play Date Cafe was one of the first places I ever entered a challenge so I always pop over to see the weekly challenges and the inspiration on offer there ... This week they have another stunning photo
These colours are just so beautiful ... so last night I worked on a card trying to capture the beauty of this photo ....
The adorable chest of drawers ... I tried to replicate by painting a key and distressing it
The backgound paper I used for "mojito' is from Bo Bunny ... and the "sand" coloured paper is K & Co from a pad my sweet friend Linda sent me ... It also has a hint of 'peony' in it and I stamped a butterfly postcard image onto it several times ... you can probably just make that out
The heart is cut from calico backed onto card stock first ... and lightly stamped and inked on the edges too ... then I added the lovely flower and button with some tulle
So there we are ... my version of this weeks' challenge at The Play Date Cafe
Have yourselves a wonderful weekend ...
Till soon

Ros, this is so dreamy and soft! Love the different textures of fabric and that key is just amazing!
Very pretty Ros. The soft colors look great and I love that flower. the fabric looks great in the background!
Ros, I am delighted to see you playing with us at The Play Date Cafe! I'm glad that you had some time to enter a challenge, just for fun. :)
LOVE that distressed key you added to the card! It gives me loads of ideas just looking at it. The bit of burlap is a great touch too.
Take care, and hugs to you!
Very sweet creation Ros, love that fine shaped key and how you coloured it. Have a great weekend, Ira x

gorgeous card Ros! Love the burlap affixed on the angle to create those peaks! That key is a beauty itself with the patina!
Yep, I remember those days when I started playing with all the challenge blogs, now that i am so busy, I kind of just stick to that few (once in a while), this is a lovely card for the challenge, I do love the color palette and you did a fabulous job to bring out all the softness and sweetness!
I am thinking to make some changes and find more time to do the things I love, like sewing, playing with mixed media, even digital photography, but i will have to cut down some of the work load first, we'll see.... someday soon! : )
Gorgeous card, Ros! I love the background paper and the beautiful flower! The design is wonderful as well. Have a wonderful Sunday!
