A Weinhard Cafe Date

Happy Thursday friends!  One day closer to the weekend....woohoo!!!  It's supposed to rain all weekend, but I'm ok with that!  We are gearing up to paint the interior of our house and put in new carpet and flooring so I am itching to do some spring cleaning.  Call me crazy, but it just feels good to get things really clean and organized!  Not sure where I was headed with that...it has nothing to do with today's card.  Must need more coffee!

Any way...a good friend of my mom's recently took over ownership of a fabulous café in Dayton WA and she asked me to make her a card for this fun occasion.  I pulled up some pictures of the café for some inspiration, not really sure what direction I wanted to go in with the card.  Well, I was totally inspired by the outside of the café itself and got to work...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder, Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White, Velum

Ink ~ Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Perfect Plum, Elegant Egg Plant, Garden Green

Stamp Sets ~ Petite Petals, Hardwood

Other Supplies ~ Word Window Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Little Leaves Sizzlits

 

I sketched out the wine bottle and wine glass on velum (don't judge my drawing skills!) and colored them with my blender pens. 

 

I normally don't make cards like this, but I have to say, I had a lot of fun creating it!

 

Happy Stamping!

I spend today doing two of my most favorite things...stamping and digging in the dirt!  Not at the same time, of course ;)  I got all of my flower beds cleaned out, weeded and all ready for some flowers...once we are, for sure, done freezing at night!  While I wasn't able to plant any flowers in my yard, I was able to create some pretty flowers with some stamps and ink...take a look and let me know what you think!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Gumball Green, Watercolor Wonder DSP

Ink ~ Smoky Slate, Island Indigo

Stamp Sets ~ Hardwood, Petite Petals, Six-Sided Sampler

Other Supplies ~ Petite Petals Punch, Mini Brads, Little Leaves Sizzlits, Circles Framelits

 

It was so nice to finally be able to spend some time outside this weekend...in the sun!  I am crossing my fingers that the really cold weather is finally over and we are on our way to warmer spring days!

 

Now it's time to hop on over to Cathy and I promise her post will WOW you once again.  Or if you prefer to hop backwards, you can head on back to the amazing creation by Amy ...she inspires me each and every week!  Either way, just make sure you make the whole loop and don't miss any of us.  And don't forget to leave us some love on our blogs...we love hearing from you!
