Color-dicted!

Happy World Card Making Day!!! ( a bit late to wish my Indian friends though... )

Okay, I am officially addicted to the beautiful colors at The Play Date Cafe this week and I ended up making not one but 3 cards :-) with these colors:



Aren't the colors just yummy? Well, I didn't think I'd like them till I started crafting...


DH loved them so I am a happy girl :-)


Originally, I made only this card... then I decided to use up the scraps for the next and then the third happened :-) I am also submitting this card for the sketch challenge at Inspired Crafters. The stamps are Hobby Ideas, the patterned paper is Itsy Bitsy, the textured handmade paper is from a local store... everything else from stash.



This one is totally scrappy ;-)


I'm almost too scared to use a totally white card base but I am in love with this one :-) The flower is handmade and then stuck on a leather flower base. The leaf stamp is Hobby Ideas and the sentiment is Stampin' Up.

Oh God, I almost sound narcissist in this post LOL! But the colors are truly inspiring and cheerful... Play along with PDCC and tell me if you don't fall in love with these :-)

Hugs,
Smita

  20. Cor I love these cards. You've got those colours down to a pat. Personally, I adore the use of white in the background of one of your cards. I certainly wouldn't be nervous about it, the sheer quality of it alone makes it stand out. Px

  24. Fab! Love that you created three cards with the colors this week. I end up doing that too because once you have it out on your desk it just is easier to keep working with the colors. Great cards for the PDCC challenge this week. Glad you joined us!
