Play Date Cafe Challenge #128

Hello again!  Hope you are enjoying the weekend.  I have to work this afternoon/evening at our local scrapbook store at a crop(I know, poor me!!ha!) unfortunately my boss is under the weather, so I'm filling in for her.  So, I thought I'd best get this posted before the weekend got completely away from me!

I've been playing around a lot with Distress Stains, inks and paint and love how this turned out. I need to get just the perfect ribbon for the tag and it will be ready to give away!  Love the sentiment from an older Stampendous stamp called Hugs and Laugh.  The border stamp is from Dylusions (Ranger). 
So here is my tag for the challenge at the Play Date Cafe 


Here are the inspiration colors for the challenge:
Aren't these fun colors!! Talk about vibrant -  Flamingo Pink and Bright Orange with Bright White.

Other supplies:  Ranger Craft Tags #8 (manila) Making Memories Paint and Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint (I did a lot of mixing to get just the right colors for the tag). Distress Stains: Warm Lipstick, Dried Marigold and Fired Brick. Stazon Jet Black ink.  These tags have been perfect to try out new techniques and get comfortable using the stains and paint!

Thanks for visiting and hope your day is filled with lots of hugs and laughter!

A merry heart does good, like medicine,  But a broken spirit dries the bones. Proverbs 17:22
