The color story at the Play Date Cafe this week is Black & White with a splash of ... my favorite color ... orange.
I just got a new Basic Grey / Hero Arts Little Black Dress Cling Stamp from Ellen Hutson (seriously, some of the best selection & customer service out there), so I decided to ink it up.
I stamped the image twice, so I could spotlight a section with an orange frame. The layout is this week's Card Sketch #2 from Let's Capture These Sketches. The butterflies are a combination of Martha Stewart Punches & a Memory Box Butterfly Delights Die Cut.
I finished with a *Free Spirit* sticker from EAD Designs Random Words.
I also made a card using last week's Let's Capture these Sketches for this week's Jingle Belles Sticker Challenge, but missed the cut-off for uploading.
It features Saint Nick Papers from Fancy Pants Designs together with Christmas Stamps & Deck the Halls Stickerz from EAD Designs.
Enjoy your Friday!
NICE cards, Stef!!
:)

Hello Stef! THanks for the heads up on Ellen Hutson goodies...never tried shopping there.
Your new Black Dress stamp is very pretty, and that swarm of butterflies looks so good against it. Thanks for playing with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!

Those butterflies are beautiful paired with that flower stamp. Great with that sentiment too. Thank you so much for playing along with color splash at The Play Date Cafe.
