The Play Date Cafe #72 and Joan's Garden's Weekly #9

Good morning!  Can't believe it's already Friday!  I am SO looking forward to the weekend!  It will be extra special for me because I get to meet up with some stamping friends at our LSS, about an hour from here!  I can't wait! We always have fun chatting and shopping together!

On to my card.  I made it for Challenge #72 in The Play Date Cafe.  Here is the inspiration photo:

My card is also for Weekly Challenge #9 on Joan's Gardens blog, which this week had the following requirements: use orange and blue, use a Spring theme, use a die cut and use a circle.  I used the sketch from this week's Sketch Challenge (SC0309) on The Outlawz site for my layout.

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of SU Night of Navy.  The solid papers are from the Basic Grey Green At Heart 6x6 pad.  The the other patterned paper is from the K & Co. Que Sera Sera pad.  It was perfect because it had an abstract design and all the PDCC colors.  I stamped the orange panel with a word stamp from Gina K. Designs' Vintage Backgrounds set (type text) and the Vintage Word Background stamp from Heartfelt Creations (script).  The floral image is from the JustRite set, Breath of Spring.  I colored it with Copic markers and highlighted with Spica pens. The image panel and mat were cut with Spellbinders Scallop and Classic Circle dies.  I finished it with a sheer ribbon bow in navy.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful weekend!
