Good morning! Thanks for dropping in! Today's card is one I TRULY struggled to create. I honestly wasn't thrilled with the result, but Ava said she loved it so I will post it. She rarely likes my cards (her style is different from mine), so for her to say that was a treat. A treat I will share with y'all.
I used the Play Date Cafe color challenge for this week. Here is the inspiration photo.
Thud. That was my first response. lol. I had no idea HOW to get this in one card, but here is my creation:
What are your thoughts on it? I heat embossed the background and then sponged the inks over it. It was a mess to create, but ah well.
Well, that's it...hope to see you back soon. I'm still in the mountains hopefully having fun! Laters!

Keva: I have to agree with Ava. I like it too. :)
I third Ava's opinion. I really like it. What a wonderful blending of colors, so smoothe and cohesive. I, too, had trouble initially with this color combo, but really if it weren't a challenge, we'd all give up on it! You've met the challenge wonderfully! Thanks for playing along with us this week at the Play Date Cafe!
So love this card Miss Keva!!!
This is SO pretty and colorful!
This one was definitely a challenge, but you've used the palette beautifully :)
I agree with Ava - it's gorgeous! The colors over the embossing are so pretty! Very nice work - the embossed image is so intricate . . .
