Playing at the Play Date Cafe!

I missed a few weeks of the challenges at Play Date Cafe but the color this week really inspired me. I used Cosmo Cricket 6x6 paper from the DeLovely collection with the perfect color combo.
And here is what is made.....
I had a lazy day at the beach in my mind, a chance to relax, reflect and recharge. We are having some really chilly June gloom here today so I can only imagine this scenario. Besides the patterned paper, I used a 1995 stamp from Annette Allen Watkins called Beach Chair. The sentiment is from Hero Arts clear set Treasure the Moments. I used Hero Arts Shadow ink in Soft Pool and Memento ink in Rose Bud. I actually made a little flower embellie to go on this but thought it was better left out.
Thought for the Day: James 3:17 " The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."
blessings,

  1. I love that verse! TFS! I am not used to reading the Bible in English - I read it in Dutch. Therefore when I want to share something on my blog I have to go look up the verse in English first.
    Your card is a perfect match qua colors - and love the image with the sentiment - very cool!
