Wondering How You're Doing

Happy Friday friend!  I have a little card today using the colors from The Play Date Cafe.  I couldn't really decide which Teal color was more appropriate so I just went with Hawaiian Shores, a bit brighter, but in the same family, right?


Starting with a Hawaiian Shores panel, I adhered it to my white card base.


I stamped this Hero Arts leaf vine in Cantaloupe Dye ink and added some Hawaiian Shores buttons, threaded with brown embroidery floss.


Stamped a sentiment from Kitchen Sink Stamps Rose set in Dark Chocolate and popped it up on my card.


Here are the inspirational colors:


Sorry about the photo quality, my regular photo taking spot just was not working with the evening sun, so I set up in my studio and well, not so happy with that either.  Maybe I should go back to a light box!  Anyway, thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Lindsay

Supplies:
Paper: Hawaiian Shores, White Papertrey Ink
Stamps: So Sorry Cling Hero Arts, Roses Kitchen Sink Stamps
