Play Date Cafe, Tag Tuesday & Stampotique Challenges

At The Play Date Cafe this week it's colour splash time, with a choice of 3 splashes of colour from the inspiration picture above.  So we are to use black & white as the base colours with..... PINK, COPPER or GOLD.  I really struggled this week for inspiration but I persevered to come up with some simple designs for the colour splash.

I decided to use this daisy stamp from Outlines which has fantastic detail and looks wonderful just simply stamped with black ink.  I punched a large heart from copper metal, stamped with a section from the stamp and adhered to the card to give my highlight of colour.

For my second card I simply punched out a medium square from copper metal and added this as my splash of colour.  This stamp is so detailed it does not need much else apart from a splash of colour.

For my third contribution I added a piece of black card embossed using one of Tim Holtz Texture Fades and simply cut the image up into strips to give me a different look to the card.  I have added a highlight of pink with small pink nail head stickers.

I would also like to enter these cards for the Stampotique Designers Challenge where the theme this week is a Birthday theme.

It is also time for Tag Tuesday and Louise has chosen the theme of Butterflies.

I used another of Tim Holtz Texture fades on my tag.  Coloured the tag with Adirondack butterscotch and cranberry ink.  I die cut the Cage from the Caged Bird die and added buttons to the bottom of the cage.  I have added a paper cast butterfly to the top of the cage and printed the In Flight text on the computer and coloured with inks.   Have a good evening, Tracy x x
