Play Date Cafe Challenge and Berry71Blue

Hello Everyone, today I made a card for a dear friend who became a 1st time grandparent this month. I am really enjoying dry embossing these days and hope to get better as I create new projects. This card is my entry for the color challenge at theplaydatecafe.blogspot.ca. The play date Cafe has a great team of designer, so go check out their site and join in the fun. I am submitting this card in the chipboard challenge at Berry71Blue.blogspot.ca Check out their site here Supplies: Want2Scrap Chipboard, Color box, Royal Blue Ink, Sizzix Alerations embossing folder, white cardstock, black ribbon. Notice that the branch and bird is the chipboard by Want2Scrap, which I embossed and then applied 2 coats of gesso before inking with the Royal Blue ink by Color Box.

    This card is so pretty. Love the embossing and the design. The blue is so soft and love it on the bird. Would have never thought of that.

    I'm honestly in awe of anyone who can create such lovely cards ~ so much of the work I do is on computer that creating by hand is sadly missed. Your card is delicate and beautiful ~ wonderful work!

    Hello Ava, very effective use of the ink and emboss.
    The strategically placed ribbon ground the work.
    I love the mono chromatic simplicity. Wish I had time to
    play with you all at the Cafe' alas I have to just enjoy
    what you create with the prompts.
    Thank You for popping in and leaving kind comments...still
    raining here, so I have to clean inside as opposed to playing outside LOL
    Keep smiling and creating
