The Play Date Cafe Challenge # 179 - Enjoy The Ride

Hello and welcome to The Play Date Cafe! We have a beautiful color story and a fabulous sponsor this week!

Now let me show you what I created!

To create my card I used a new set from A Muse Studio called "Sunset Beach". I LOVE this set! The sentiment is from the TPC Studio set "Summer Boardwalk".  I used Wild Wasabi from Stampin Up, and a pink from Studio G $1 ink cubes, and Peach by Fresh Ink. I sprayed a few squirts of Glimmer mist to add a little extra to my card. I hope you like it!

I used SU classic ink, and a water color ink to color my lil' butterflies.  I colored my fox using Promarkers. The Hello sentiment is also from PTI.
