The Play Date Cafe Challenge #77 (and more)

Good afternoon!  I hope it's as gorgeous where you live as it is here in NC!  I think spring is finally here to stay!  I am popping in to share a card I made for a few challenges this week.  First, it is for the Play Date Cafe Challenge #77.  Here is the inspiration photo that Ruby had for us this week:

My card is also for Mo's DP2 Challenge #78.  Dorcas is our hostess again  this week and the theme is "Start of Something New", interpreted anyway you like as long as you use a Mo's image.  Finally, my card is for this week's Sketch Challenge (SC0413) on The Outlawz site.  Here is the sketch:

And here is my card for the three challenges:

I was inspired by the colors, the clean lines and the white brick wall in the PDCC inspiration photo.  I started with a card base of Kraft and layered with SU Wild Wasabi.  I embossed a panel of heavy weight white CS with the Cuttlebug Brickyard embossing folder.  My fun image is Hoping from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I colored her with Copic markers and highlighted with a Sharpie White Paint Pen.  I added a little Glossy Accents to the "glass" on the scale.  The sentiment was computer generated.  A few brads and some Wasabi stitched ribbon finished my card.  This is going to a friend who signed up for a "Biggest Loser" contest at her work.  That's my "start of something new" for Mo's - a new diet!  I think my friend will get a kick out of this image (which reminds me a lot of both of us - lol)!

Have a great day! See you soon!
