Play Date Cafe Challenge

Hi there ... 
I saw the beautiful colour combination for this week's challenge at The Play Date Cafe


... and it just so happened that I had been playing around with these colours this week for some upcoming DT projects and on my work table were some of the scraps ... I also needed to make a "Thank You" card ... So this challenge was the perfect opportunity to use up my scraps to make this card


I love to mix papers from different suppliers and this is definitely a mix ...


The background paper is from PaperMania ... an old range really ... called Rose Garden ...
The grey is from Echo Park and the blue mist coloured paper is from Grace Taylor


I love this colour palette and yet if it hadn't been for the challenge I probably wouldn't have put them all together ... Thanks Playdate!

May you have a blessed Easter weekend ...

Till soon
