PDCC175: Happy Day with Bloomin Marvelous

This card was made for the Play Date Cafe card challenge. I was really inspired by the colors. Earlier in the week I had saw a card that was absolutely gorgeous.

PDCC136: Happy Fathers Day with Extreme Elements

Such pretty colors this week at the Play Date Cafe color challenge. The colors were Azure, Raspberry and Blackberry. I used Marina Mist, Elegant Eggplant and Rich Razzleberry. To create the background, I used reinkers on waxed paper. I placed a few drops of ink on the waxed paper, spritzed it with water and then laid a piece of cardstock over the ink. I then randomly stamped images from the SU Extreme Elements stamp set.
