Happy New Year!
The Play Date Cafe Design Team is ready to hit the ground running with an all new challenge this week.
Before we get to our design inspiration, we want to thank our
for inspiring us with her fabulous designs.
Look for our next guest designer coming in January!
This week's design host is Sarah.
Many of you have commented on how fun it has been to get to see UK-inspired creations

and we know we can always count on our Sarah's unique perspective!
Here is what Sarah had to say about this week's inspiration...
"I've been crocheting a lot recently. When I saw a card with some tiny crocheted flowers, I decided I'd give it a go. This week's colours come from a necklace a friend bought me earlier this year. If you need new colour inspiration, or just want a bit of a jump start to get going on a project, looking at something you own for a colour combo should always be successful - after all, you chose the accessory/clothing because YOU liked it!! In certain lights this necklace is more of an orange with turquoise and brown but during the transition from camera to computer it's become a more dusky pink. So your challenge this week is to use
turquoise brown dusky pink
as the main colours in a project of your choice."
Here are projects from our other designers to help inspire you.....
Sandi ~ The Paper Trail / Celticwoman
Alison ~ Stretch N' Bubbles
Mona Pendleton ~ Cupcake's Creations

Here's a card I made with these colours for inspiration http://jacksjunk.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/january-2nd-2010/
ReplyDeleteI love these colours, but still had to scratch my head to incorporate them, however, I got there.
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge again!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I am out of turquoise cardstock, so I used blue instead, but there's turquoise in the stripes. Hope you like it.
DT-cards are fab.
I love the colours I think they go so well together.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners
Happy New Year to everyone.
