Playing at the Play Date Cafe Again

When I saw the colors for the Play Date Cafe Challenge #29 I thought of using a stamp I don't use often enough.
Here's the color inspiration for this week:

The Misty Garden Pattern from Hero Arts turned out to be perfect. With just one inking of the stamp I had my light and dark greens and a perfect place to add my pale blue. So here's my vision of the challenge colors:
That lovely trim was a gift from sweet Tiffany.  Every time I use this Misty Garden Pattern stamp I think of Jacqueline because she uses it so wonderfully and totally inspires me, so I added the Paris postage stamp in her honor.
Stamps and Supplies:
All stamps by Hero Arts- Misty Garden Pattern S5097; Paris A2202 ; Clear Design Frames and Messages CL130.
Making Memories-Flutter Trim; Kaisercraft Pearls in Bliss; Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Crushed Olive; Copic Markers- Pale Celestine, Baby Blue; EK Success Swirls border punch; Spellbinders Nestabilities- Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large. Patterned Paper- Handmade Collection, K&Company.
Thought for the Day: ~ Hebrews 11:6  "Without faith it is impossible to please Him for those who come to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." I believe in God and I'm so happy that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
bless you,

  2. I like how this turned out Nancy. Great that one one stamp gave you the basis for the card and then all the other bits just seem to fall into place. And yes it does have a "feel of Jacqueline" to it- thinks it is the lovely soft colours.
