The weather has been glorious here in the last few days and when I saw this weeks Play Date Cafe colour challenge I immediately thought of the beach and the summer sun.
Sarah Anderson has chosen this weeks colours and they are real rich earthy colours, I love them! My inspiration has come from Suzannes stunning card, her background is so beautiful and I wanted to try her technique with the acetate and distress inks, it was such fun and I have lots of inky fingers now!!
At last I have my camera back from the repairers and was able to get a shot of this in the evening sun.
When I spritzed the background with water I used a small amount of perfect pearls in the water so the card has a soft shimmer which doesn't really show in the photograph.
I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend as the weather is set to stay warm, hope you all enjoy your weekend.
