Sometimes it works


This is a get well card for a friend, and also my entry for this weeks Play Date Cafe which is Black & White with a splash of lilac (although mine is more a case of Lilac with a splash of B&W - oops).

Stamp is by Crafty Individuals. Background paper is handmade.

    Hellooo!! Where oh where does the time go? I just need to put the world on hold while I catch up a bit!! :)
    You've done some fab pieces of work since my last journey across, and this is just beautiful!! The splash of B&W looks fab against the lilac...even if it is an 'oooops' :)

    Well that's what rules are there for - to be broken. I prefer your card having purple with a hint of black and white. Shows you have a creative mind of your own :) Px

    This would ensure an instant recovery. I like the weighting you have given to the colours and the background is beautiful.

    Oh, you must have a caravan...now I have envy although my fed-up-ness has gone along with my ideas.
    It is not good to have envy, but the thought of setting off with a home in tow is mesmerising..not long now!
    Have a lovely evening
