Play Date Cafe #174

Here is the card I made for the Playdate cafe challenge. Somehow the bluish green comes out as blue on the picture - in real life it is a little more green, but anyhow, I think its close enough for the challenge. I cut lots of 1/4 inch strips, pasted them together and cut them again diagonally into 1 inch strips. Re-taped everything together and adhered it to the white card base. Somewhat tedious process. I prefer usually quicker things, but i still like how the card looks like. The sentiment is from  Hero Arts  - Leaf Print, the flower is Memory Box Chloe Stem die.









I got sooo many lovely comments on my last blog post - thank you all! I really appreciate your comments and your time coming to my blog.

I wanted to share some more pictures from my Texas trip. I went to the San Antonio Botanic Garden. It is very pretty. Lot of flowers were in bloom and it was a lovely warm day - not like here right now, where we got another prediction of snow, brrrr.......



Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

This is stunning - what a labor of love cutting all those strips! The result is so beautiful, though. Love your Botanical Garden pictures as well - my husband and I love to head there for photos. So glad you could join us for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge!
