Play Date Cafe Challenge 36

I'm playing along for the first time with The Play Date Cafe. Several of the blogs I follow have posted cards for this challenge and I'm really digging this combination of colors! You can find the details for the challenge here.


I'm using the last of the 4 CRESCENDOh dresses that I recently purchased. The dress is paper pieced with PTI Sweet Blush Bitty Dot paper. I pierced the little holes along the bottom of the dress, and added a black flower and pearl to finish it. In this close up you can see that I used the PTI Linen and Canvas Impression plate, one side for the white circle and the other side for the pink blossom behind the circle.


I LOVE how the red background paper turned out, I stamped the same dress randomly in black to achieve this look. The little white tag is stamped with a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps. I finished the card with a double layer of white ribbon.


Like I said, I love the pink, red and white together, and you know how much I love my dress stamps :) This was such a fun card to make!

Stamps: CRESCENDOh, Walzingmouse Stamps
Paper: PTI white, Sweet Blush, BG Sugar Rush (red)
Ink: PTI black
Ribbon: PTI white satin, sheer white from my stash
Misc: paper flower, pearl, tag, Spellbinders Blossom and circle dies, PTI Linen and Canvas Impression plate
