The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC14

Are you ready for a REAL challenge?

Then you've come to the right place!

Before we get to our design inspiration, we want to thank our  

January Guest Designer  
Teresa Kline of Enjoy the VA Sunshine
for inspiring us with her fabulous designs.

Look for our next guest designer coming in February!

In the meantime, Sandi and Jules are away this week.
We should have a full house of designers back next week.

Time to break out of the comfort zone and have fun with these stunning colors.

Because we all interpret colors a bit differently and our computer screens may do the same,

the specific colors are:

orange, lilac, dusky pink, dark green & white.

Just check your stash and use what matches the best!

Let's hear Sarah's inspiration behind these fabulous colors:

"What I love about The Play Date Colour Challenge is that, through using images of the world around us, we can be inspired and challenged to try new colours in our artwork.

This week's image is of flowers in my sister's garden which won a silver gilt medal at the Royal Horticultural Society's annual show at Tatton Park in Cheshire.

I can spend hours photographing sections of her gardens, they are so amazingly put together. 

  I needed some journal time this week so decided to play with these colours.  They're not colours I am used to using together but I'm pleased with the result."

 

Here are projects from our other designers to help inspire you.....

Julie Ranae ~ Julie's Open Window

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.
