Good morning! Imagine my surprise (& me doing the "Hot Dog" dance) when I got an email from Julie Marray over at the Play Date Cafe asking me to be a guest designer!!! SUPER COOL!
Although I have a hard time with monochromatics, I think I actually did okay! It's kinda on the shabby/chic side - less shabby more chic... I probably should have shabbied it more... sorry, I think I'm talking to myself ...
I started making Thursdays my "Play Date with the Play Date" a while back... they have great colors every week! Usually I check in first thing on Thursday mornings and spend the rest of the day scheming... I don't make it every week, but when I do miss a color combo, I make it a point to play the next week! If you've got the time, please head over to the Play Date Cafe & join in!!!
I combined their lovely colors with Mary Jo's sketch this week, but again I took some liberties - lol!
So yeah, the colors were a little hard - but I do love a challenge! The colors reminded me of Dutch Delft tiles (my hubby's family is Dutch Indo) so I knew I had to try my hand at making some using the cracked glass technique! Using the Stampin' Up! background stamp, Bella Toile, I inked up with Pacific Point ink (retired) and then watercolored some Bashful Blue into it. The I did the cracked glass... one of my tiles didn't want to "crack" so much!
Thanks so much for visiting - make sure to join us at the Play Date Cafe this week!
