It's Challenge Time Again


Here we are on another Thursday and the Play Date Cafe has launched it's latest colour challenge. Black & White with a hint of...the choice was gold, copper or pink. I went for copper. And yes, it's another minimalist piece. I do love the opportunity to pare a design right back. This makes a perfect note card to suit nearly all occasions.

And for the first time ever, i'm going to enter this card into two challenges. Normally I prefer to make something origianl for each challenge I like but time is running away with me this week. So I'm going to use this as my entry for the Crafty Cardmakers blog. The challenge is to produce a card that's clean and simple and well you don't get any cleaner and simpler than this one haha.
