The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC71



It's everybody's favorite challenge....
The Color Splash!!!

We are going to give you the opportunity
to choose which color is the 'splash'.

Now before you run away 
to create, 
let's go over a few reminders
because we want this to be 
fun and fair for all!

The true meaning of 'color splash'...
Black and White 
with a Limited Use of Color.

Typically, we choose the color for you, but we are going
give you the opportunity to play with your favorite.

The key is to limit it to:
ONE COLOR
and
ONLY A SPLASH OF IT!

So it's up to you to follow these simple rules and have fun!

We are really excited about our challenge sponsor this week
and as we announce who it is, we have a fun twist to our
guest designer this week.  It happens to be this week's
Senior Design Team host, Julie Ranae.....

"I really enjoy color splash weeks and the idea of a
'player's choice week' is really fun.
Will the real challenge might be limiting
it to just one color....
or to just a splash...?
I am also happy to be representing our sponsor for
this week.  I am fortunate to be the Design Team
Coordinator for The Twinery.  They have the most
amazing baker's twine on the planet.  The colors are
saturated and gorgeous, Eco-luxe and a must for
any paper crafter's creative tool box.
Each of our designers are featuring The Twinery's
beautiful twine as the 'splash' of color inspiration for
their individual projects and we all hope you enjoy"


And now a proverbial word from our sponsor...


'Our twine is made from 100% cotton, it's eco-friendly 
and made in the USA. Whether you're gift wrapping, crafting 
or tying up baked goods to give to a friend,
our baker's twine adds a fresh, yet nostalgic 
look to any project at hand!
Our baker's twine comes in 11 delicious colors and 
is uniquely twisted against
a bright white hue, creating an eye-popping burst 
of color and a creative embellishment!
Our twine has lots of color which lends to a 
fun, candy-striped look.' 
How would you like to win this?!!!



The Sampler Pack from The Twinery
includes 15 yards of all 11 colors!

Now for some more inspiration from
