I've used the sketch from this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge - WMSC71 and the soft, pretty colours from the new Play Date Cafe Challenge - PDCC106.
I've used my all time favourite set from WM - Free Spirit. The set is aimed at teenage boys, but I often use it for general cards - the free form circles are great for backgrounds and the hibiscus flower is so pretty. I inked up the stamp with Versamark and then overlaid several shades of pink and yellow, once stamped I sprinkled on Kaleidoscope embossing powder which has a lovely sparkle once heated. I used my nesties to cut out the background and then added subtle colour to the border and mounted it onto a lacey square. The flowers were stamped twice and coloured with Promarkers, then cut out and layered. Finally, I added some ribbon and a sentiment label - thanks!

I'vee seen cards made by you with thisstamp before; by inking it up with diofferent colors andd as a part of another design you turned it into a jaw dropper again. Such a lovely card to receive;and it shows off your talent...

You make this stamp look different every time Deborah! Have fun with your mum!
Those lacey squares work beautifully with your Free Spirit stamp - lovely thoughtful gesture too.

Very pretty! That is one of my favorite Nestabilities dies.
I always love when you use Free Spirit, Deborah! You always show so many fun and lovely ways to use it. I wouldn't think to use it on a feminine card, but then you went and made such a pretty one! The pastel colors and the flower look awesome on this!
Just delightful Deborah! Love the repeated circles theme and the pretty blooms!
I love how you used this set for a more feminine card... perfect for this week's color story. Thanks so much for joining us in the Cafe!
This is just beautiful, Deb! And I know that your Aunt and Uncle will appreciate it so! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
