Play Date Cafe

Hello and welcome! This week, I am honored to be the guest designer for The Play Date Cafe! Check out this weeks gorgeous color inspiration...This is definitely a color combo I am very comfortable with! I've combined this color challenge with the latest All Eye's On, featuring Paper Piecing. So here is what I came up with...
These colors just spoke baby to me. So, I went with the super adorable mobile image from the Kisses & Cuddles stamp set. As usual, I kept things super simple yet interesting by adding a few fun details. Tied some Simply Chartreuse swiss dot satin ribbon at the top and rounded the bottom corners.
To create this paper pieced mobile I simply, stamped the image onto Sweet Blush cardstock and cut out. Then colored the trim green with a Copic marker and stamped it with polka dots in Fresh Snow (which is a little hard to see). Stamped the mobile image a second time onto the card base and then attached the paper pieced mobile using dimensional adhesive. Embellished with buttons, tied with pink embroidery floss and finished it off with a sentiment from Signature Greetings. For perfect placement of the floss: pierce holes at the top and bottom of the placement, thread floss through holes and tie into a bow at the front of the card.

Be sure to stop by and see what the other Play Date Cafe designers have created to inspire you with! Check out their gorgeous creations here. Thanks Ladies for this opportunity!

Also, check out what a few of the other Wplus9 designers created for All Eye's On... Paper Piecing here.

Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful day!
