Guess Where I've Popped Up Again

Yes, it's my second appearance on the Play Date Cafe Challenge Blog as I have been asked (and indeed I jumped at the chance) to be guest designer twice for the month of August.

This week, Julie has chosen a very cool, refreshing, palette to compliment this sizzling, summery season. A pale and a dark green plus a vibrant pale blue. Admittedly, when I began to pool these colours together to make a card, I had difficulty. I disliked every which way I was combining my stash. It was late at night, I was a little heavy lidded and probably in an overly self-critical mood.

The following morning, I was feeling much more refreshed and began again. Fortunately I hadn't adhered anything together yet and with a few chops and changes, came at it with a different approach. Once finished, I spent the rest of the morning tidying up the debris I was left with. It may look deceptively simple, but this tiny, little card managed to cause what looked like a major stash explosion in my craft room. And I can't create in a mess. I can easily make it but I need to clear it up before I start again.

Anyway, the main point is, I may have found it frustrating, mainly through tiredness, but it was still great fun to make. And I'm grateful to the PDCC team for asking me to be a part of their blog this week. I'm now looking forward to seeing everyone else's projects and interpretations.
