** My card received an honorable mention at the Play Date Cafe!! **
It's Creative Inspirations DT challenge time again, this week's challenge is 'Summer Stroll', to be inspired by the colors of summer. So I went with some pretty fresh greens, sweet blue birds and flowers. I used the colors from this week's Play Date Cafe challenge #43. I used this week's Card Patterns Sketch 77 also.
This sweet digi paper is from Sprout at the Shabby Shoppe. I used a little Sky Blue Creative Inspirations Paint on the little birds. The stamped frame border is from Fiskars Kids Birthday, I used VersaMagic Tea Leaves Ink. I added a little turquoise glitter border too.
I stamped the sentiment from Sweethearts by Waltzingmouse Stamps in Aqua Marine Creative Inspirations Paint. The little tag frame is Studio G, stamped with Tea Leaves VersaMagic.
I just love this oh so soft crochet flower, it's mohair I bought it on ebay, they come in all different colors. It's so cuddly!! I just love flowers. The outer green frame I painted with Emerald Creative Inspirations Paint. Don't forget to check out the rest of the Design Team's creations at the Creative Inspirations blog. Have a lovely day! : )
