Discovering


I discovered something new. Something fun. And produced a lot of objects from learning this new to me technique. Does this ever happen to you?

The Play Date Cafe is celebrating one year of challenges with an absolutely beautiful color combination, and I wanted to make sure I helped celebrate-even though the idea in my head didn't come out exactly as planned. Does this ever happen to you?

Cardstock: (Very Vanilla, Blush Blossom) SU
Stamps: (Bannerific, Sophie's Sentiments) Lawn Fawn
Ink: (Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress) Ranger, (Pumpkin Pie Pigment) SU
Embellishments: (Rustic Twine) PTI, (Rhinestones) Studio G, (Starfish Glimmer Mist) Tattered Angels
Other: Coffee Filter, (Corner Chomper) WeRMemory Keepers

  12. Oh so pretty! I can't imagine how what you were envisioning could be better than this. Nothing I create ever comes out just as I planned, it's always a work in progress that shifts and changes just a little along the way!
