Play Date Cafe Challenge

My second challenge I have today is one from the Play Date Cafe. When I first saw the inspiration picture & colours I was I little taken back, thinking it would be difficult to come up with a card. The actual stamping of the card literally took me 5min max deciding on a layout & whether or not to use a sentiment I am sure took me another hour. My decision was no sentiment & a very basic layout so the stamping was the focal point, although I did add a little ribbon.
The colours I chose were Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie & Concord Crush.

I have used 3 different stamp sets to create the card Extreme Elements, En Francis & Upsy Daisy. I am really happy with how it turned out, this is my second favourite card from the cards I have made today click here if you would like to see the others.

Happy Stamping
