Caribbean Balloons

Hiya!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are a lovely bright combination...


I decided to pull out Papertrey's Up, Up and Away set for this one and had fun with my Copic markers...


I used the fun sketch from Fab Friday for my layout...

Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge

Hello!

I thought, seeing as I had some time to get creative today, that I would join in with the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop this month.

Here's the lovely inspiration picture...


When I saw the inspiration pic I thought of coloured embossing on a grey background so that's what I played around with until I ended up with this...


I used a few PTI sets for this one: Rosie Posie, Butterfly Dreams, Beautiful Butterflies and Turning a New Leaf. I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch this week to help me with my layout...

Abundant Birthday Blessings...

Hiya!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are a cheerful combination...


I went rummaging through my card stash and found some Poppy Parade in one of my boxes, and seeing as I don't have the ink to stamp or colour with I thought I would emboss some flowers onto the card, as well as Melon Mambo, to create some bright blooms. I pulled out an old Verve set called Abundant Blessings which has so many lovely images and used the three different flower stamps to create this...


The leaves were cut from Coastal Cabana card using one of the Botanical Blooms dies {can I just say again how FAB these are?!} and stamped a greeting from Verve's Chevron Love set. I used this week's Viva la Verve sketch for my layout (although with rather large flowers instead of the dainty shamrocks!)...


After two busy weekends I am looking forward to some time this coming weekend to chill out and get creative so hopefully I'll have a few more projects to share in the next week or so...

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

Birthday Botanical Greens...

Hiya!

I'm a bit late posting my ColourQ card this week - yesterday was so busy! Here are this week's colours...






I really wanted to use the Botanical Blooms dies again cos I just love the leaves (and flowers!) in that set, so I kept pretty simple and ended up with this...



I used the sketch from CAS Colours and Sketches this week for my layout...

Joyful Journal...

Hi there!

It's time for another great ColourQ challenge... Here are this week's colours to play with...


I struggled to know what to do with these colours for ages so I went rummaging through my paper collection to see if anything had a combination of any of these colours in it and lo and behold I found an old K&Co collection that had all of them (or near enough!). That inspired me to create an altered notebook, so here's what I ended up with...


I used the current Viva la Verve sketch for my layout (with a few tweaks!)...

Beautiful Blues Notebook...

Hiya!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week we've got a fabulous combination of blues...


It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with these colours but I eventually decided to pull out an old Papertrey set, Guidelines, and create my own background paper (inspired by the printed bedlinen). I'd forgotten how much fun it is to play with this set and the endless possibilities you can create!


I had a heart-shaped doily in the Bermuda Bay shade of blue so added that along with my background paper, a simple Verve scripture and of course a butterfly! I have a stash of these little blue notebooks that are a perfect match for Brilliant Blue so I thought I'd alter one of those for a gift for someone or to sell perhaps - we'll see!

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