Paper Smooches January Challenge: Four Colors

Hello, cafe friends! Today I have brewed up a sweet and simple card that's going to send you to the store for some awesome (and cheap!) crafting supplies.

I made this card for the Paper Smooches January challenge: use four colors on a card or creation. Here's a link to their site:

Here's my card:

Where, you may ask, did I find that awesome minty paper doily and pink washi tape? Target Dollar Spot! Isn't it sweet?

And where, you may ask, did I find that awesome vintage background paper? Well, I used a sheet from a Farmer's Almanac that I had saved for a while. (ahem! cough! cough! Four years?!)

So now when you are out running your Saturday errands, you can add these fun items to your shopping cart!

{Today's Brew: Needle Little Love stamp set (Paper Smooches), kraft card stock (PTI), Memories ink, COPIC markers, mint doily and pink washi tape (Target), DMC floss for stitching}

Lately, I find that I like my cards and other creations to be just a little imperfect. A little smudging outside the lines, slightly crooked stitching, imperfect fussy cutting. I think it adds that handmade and homey touch to the creation. It's kind of like the Amish women who make an imperfect stitch on their quilts to demonstrate that only God is perfect.

Thanks for visiting the cafe today!
