It's Play Date Cafe time once again and this week we've been given earthy colours to be challenged with. Two dark hues of green and brown and a lighter beige colour. So you can't help but to make something which has a feel of nature to it. Hence why I found myself drawn to using twine and this hempish style of ribbon.
It's my usual blend of die cuts and punches mixed in with a smidgen of sewing and a dollop of bling. Still kept my design clean and simple. There is a sentiment in there too if you squint. A demure happy birthday courtesy of a Papertrey Ink stamp. I think it's the grungiest card I've made in quite a while. Ahhh good to see those browns again.
