The colour challenge this week at Play Date Cafe is Black,White and a Splash of Green.


I started with a folded black card.I embossed white card with 'Timeworks' embossing folder by Sizzix. Swiped black distress ink over the embossed card.

Stamped 'Eric' (Stampotique) in black versafine ink once on to white card and again onto a green paint swatch sample card. I cut out the green clothing and paper pieced to the cut out white stamped image. I like how it looks as if Eric has a white stripe on his shirt. Its just where the different shades of green are on the paint swatch. I popped Eric on with small foam squares.

Die cut one large and two small black mini cogs and glued to card. Then placed a small black button with a slightly larger green button on top on to each cog.
Matted white embossed card onto olive green card.
