The Play Date Cafe Challenge #10

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  

December Guest Designer  
Mona Pendleton of Cupcake's Creations

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

Julie ~ A Vintage Chic

 Julie Ranae ~ Julie's Open Window

 

Mona Pendleton ~ Cupcake's Creations

ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAY! 
We want you to enjoy this challenge, so interpret the colors the way you see them. We are not using specific card stock color names nor brands for our challenges, so you can really break out of the box and have some fun. What we do ask is that the colors that are in the challenge be OUR focal colors...when using additional colors, please limit them to neutrals. You are welcome to combine challenges, but we do ask that 1. They be used for the first time here 2. You mention in your post that you are playing (better yet, display our color challenge photo) and 3. OUR colors are the focus of the card.
