Play Date Cafe # 71 - Colour Splash and a photo using my new "box" thingy!

This doesn't happen very often - this is my second posting of the day! - if you haven't seen my earlier post, and you want a chance to win £100 worth of stash then look at my post below for details..... 

Anyway back to this posting and thought I would get in just before closing time on The Play Date Cafe challenge this week!

Its colour splash time and here is their photo how vibrant are those colours - gorgeous!  They have left it up to us to select which "splash" of colour we want to use. 

One of my fav colours is turquoise and I knew I had some gorgeous velvet ribbon in that colour and so that was my starting point for this card.  I then remembered buying some gorgeous Artemio stamps when I was at a craft show a few weeks back.  They were very reasonably priced. 

Anyway I've used one on my card below.  I've taken two photos to try out my new Portable photo box thingy:-

Taken using photo box

and one how I usually take my photos on the windowsill!

So can you notice the difference - I know it is only slight but I think I do get a better photo using the box.  I like the "uncluttered background" and also think my photo is clearer.  I still need to practice a bit more and hopefully as some folks sing ....things can only get better........ LOL

Happy crafting!
