This is a BRIGHT post with the colors from Play Date Cafe's #185!
I cut out this cute little date snippet:
And added it to the BG paper I made with my Gelli plate and paint. On top of the BG, I pounced teal paint through a damask stencil to create that FAB doily. I stitched around it in gray to get that color in.
I had every intention of making a flat card to mail to the UK, however I just couldn't do it! It looked boring to me! I added these pretty flowers which stick out quite a bit but I think it needed it!
I added a chipboard doily, a teal felt border,the strip of paper with the cute birdies, and the sentiment I wrote myself on the vellum. Sorry about the wonky handwriting but it's mine!
So Pauline, I wish you the very BEST birthday ever and I hope you enjoy my card whenever you receive it! HUGS to you my friend!

What a fun take on the color story this week! Thanks for playing along with us at The Play Date Cafe!
Happy Birthday to Pauline, I bet she can't wait for the Postie to drop it off. So glad you added the 3D elements, I agree -cards need dimension and yours is lovely.
