I decided to do away with my paper cutter for a while, and tear instead. I have to admit that it was not only therapeutic but allowed me to look over inconsistencies in lines. I had attempted to make a card for the Play Date Cafe Challenge (PDCC14), but wasn't happy with it at all. I was really challenged by the colours (orange, lilac, dusky pink, dark green & white). Well, let's just say that the lilac and dusky pink kind of threw me off. So, I put away my stuff and forgot about it for a while.
I browsed through my stash again today, when I realised that the deadline for the challenge was tonight. So I went with the tearing. And I was also inspired to bring out my sewing machine and use it.
This really is a toned down version of the colours displayed on the challenge page, but I kind of just went with it. I know that white was a colour requirement, and I noticed that it was actually in the areas where the paper was torn, so I didn't add the colour specifically. Thinking I'll take a short nap before my little one wakes up. Namaste.
I had trouble with the dusky pink too, on mine! This is fab, well done for perservering with the challenge.
