No One Like You

Once again, I'm hooked on the color combination from Play Date Cafe this week.  It's a great combo, and one I never really would have put together.  Here's their inspiration photo:

I wanted to use some Paper Smooches stamps that I haven't had a chance to ink up yet.  I chose the pepper for this card:
I stamped the pepper on Pure Poppy and Orange Zest cardstock.  After stamping the large Gingham strip, I added the piece of Pure Poppy rik-rak.  I wanted it to look kind of like a happy picnic.  The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set and is stamped on one of the Double Ended Banner dies. 

Here's a close-up of the orange pepper - popped up a bit for emphasis:

We have several teachers & staff leaving our campus this year due to budget cuts and life-changing events, so I'm trying to get some cards made to send them off with smiles. This one goes in that stack. I better get busy; we only have 12.5 days left in this school year - but who's counting?

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

What a clever idea! Well done! That inspiration photo is stunning too...if only I could find some poppies to plant right now. The ones I planted last year didn't come back. :( Anywho...cute, cute card! And only 12.5 days on the 10th? You're even closer now! Yay!
