I just love apples on cards and projects. I don’t know why but they just conjure up happy homely feelings, so when I got this little Paper Smooches set I just knew I wanted to make a little card for my princess. She is getting really well at school, too well for my liking actually lol. I do love her to bits!!
So my little card (3 x 3) is for today’s Play Date Cafe challenge, which has the suggested colours of Wine, Smudge, Leather and Parchment.
I chose to use wine and parchment for my main colours and then just accent with the leather and smudge. I don’t often use wine as a colour, so it made a refreshing change.
What I love about this card is the glossy accents effect on the heart, they are just such a cool product, don’t you think! I love the high gloss and 3d effect you get with them, I don’t know why I don’t use them more really. I think my card is pretty self explanatory but I just wanted to point out that I also used crackle on the leaf, if you look closely you may just be able to make it out.

A short and sweet post from me today, Tinks has been up half the night with a sickness virus and I'm aching all over too now, it's been a looooonnnnngggg night!
Don’t forget to pop by the main Play Date Cafe blog for more inspiration and details of our fun prize.

Poor Tinks! I'm sorry she is not well, and you sound pretty tired too, Ruby. Hope you both are back to normal soon.

Ooh, no, the dreaded sick bug! It was going round Francis Baily the first week, 10 kids off and the teacher by day three! Seems to have died down now, so I hope you get some rest today and Tinks feels better soon.
