Tilted Thanks...

Hiya!

It's time for another great ColourQ challenge and this week's challenge has an eclectic mix of bright colours...

I struggled with this one I must admit, but when I saw a retired floral silhouette stamp set in my collection, I had an idea and ended up with this...

I used the CAS(E) this Sketch layout to help me with thus one...

Make sure you check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the design team this week - they're sure to inspire!

Freshly Made Notebook...

Hi there!

I'm popping in to share a little notebook I made combining two challenges this week: the Freshly Made Sketch (who are celebrating their 200th challenge!) and the Color Throwdown challenge...

I dug around my Kaisercraft stash and came up with this (shock: no stamping!)...

As well as selling these in my local church bookshop, it's always nice to have a stash for little gifts when needed!

Bricks & Blooms...

Hi there!

It's time for another great ColourQ challenge... check out this week's combo...

I loved the pop of colour on the grey background so I decided to start with a background of a grey brick wall (using the fab new embossing folder from SU) and build some flowers on top...

I used the current Cardabilities sketch for my layout...

The stamps are from Papertrey (used with the coordinating dies).

Make sure you check out the rest of the Royal Court's fab designs this week (and we have a couple of new members!).

So Special Gift Bag

Hiya!


I've been making up some decorated gift bags for our church bookshop recently and decided to use a couple of challenges to inspire my for my latest one: the Viva la Verve sketch combined with the Color Throwdown colour challenge...

Here's what I came up with...

I used a couple of Verve sets for the tag and sentiment then found these vintage flowers in my stash and decided that they would work well in place of the heart. I added a couple of pearl brads (from Kaisercraft) through the flower centres to finish.

Here's a close-up...

Birthday cupcakes...

Hi there!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge... Check out this week's colours...

I looked at these colours for a while before I figured out what to do with them! I finally decided on cupcakes so I pulled out an old set from my stash from There She Goes that allows you to build your own cupcakes and got creating...

I wanted to let the coloured cupcakes really pop so I tried to go with a CAS design (NOT my forte!)... I used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch for my layout...

A Sympathy Trio...

Hello!

I realised this week when I needed a sympathy card that I had none in my collection so I thought I'd better make a few at the same time to build up my supplies again. I used this week's Viva la Verve sketch and pulled out some Kaisercraft papers and came up with this...

After I had cut and glued the papers, I wanted to tone down the colours a little so I sponged some unbleached titanium acrylic paint over the top in a thin layer. The sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip and I stamped some leaves with Soft Sky above. I added a few little Kaisercraft flowers and some pearls to finish. Here are the other two...

Here's the sketch I used...

Bermuda Butterfly Birthday...

Hi there!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are so pretty...

I dug through my retired paper stash and found some Peach Parfait and So Saffron dsp scraps and paired them with some Bermuda Bay butterflies I die-cut and layered over a MFT doily die-cut...

I used Hello Honey ribbon to finish things off and added a sentiment from Verve stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (love that colour!). I used the first Viva la Verve sketch from this month for my layout...

Make sure you check out the inspiration from the rest of the Royal Court this week!
