Play Date Challenge #80


Hey y'all,

Was the latest challenge #80 at the Play Date Cafe hard? You betcha! Wow these colors gave me a run for my money. I rarely use orange, much less orange and red together. I was amazed at how pretty and simple this challenge was to the other people who entered because there is some major talent shown in the other entries. Well this will have to do because my brain is fried trying to figure out another option.

Thanks for stopping by,
Brandi

"Have to do"?! You're crazy, girl! This is AMAZING! LOVE how the flowers over-stamp onto that white panel and how your sweet, little buttons are tucked in behind it! Plus, who can resist a Smoochy sentiment?! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
