And One More...

Pin It Ok, so I was so inspired by the colors in this week's Play Date Cafe Color Challenge (and had a few scraps to work with :) that I just had to make one more card!  And here it is:




I embossed with my favorite embossing folder ever and then used my Copics to add a little color pop to random dots for a background.  I also used various sized strips of colored papers to create the bottom border.  I think it turned out pretty cute...  Hope you like it, too!

A reminder of what the challenge palette looks like in case you want to play along, too:


Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate your comments!  :)

  • Basic Grey patterned paper - "Wander"
  • Hero Arts "Hearts" Frame Cuts Die
  • Neenah "Solar White" cardstock

  • Copic Markers - BG02, BG09, YG25, YR15, YR16
  • Uni-ball Signo White Gel Pen

  5. I love your card. It was very clever of you to use your copics to get your colours. Just the perfect mix of colour & elements to make the card pop but not overwhelm. I think I might need that embossing folder too!
