<br />
I'm sad to say that this week is my last week on the <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>design team. Life has gotten very full over the last few months and there are other things I need to prioritise with the time that I have available so I had to make the choice to step away from some things, one of which is the wonderful ColourQ team. I have had such fun being a part of the Royal Court and and very grateful to Arielle for inviting me to join in the first place! So here are this week's colours...<br />
<br />

I started with a piece of watercolour paper and got messy with inks and a water spritzer (fun!). When I'd made something I liked, I then stamped, cut and added a bunch of layers, paper flowers, ribbon... well yes I got a bit carried away lol!<br />

<br />
I'm posting my <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>card a little early today as I'm going away for a few days. This week's colours are lovely and bright...<br />
<br />

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

<br />
I thought, seeing as I had some time to get creative today, that I would join in with the <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/"><b>Papertrey Ink Blog Hop</b></a> this month.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's the lovely inspiration picture...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
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...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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 <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>CAS(E) this Sketch</b></a> this week to help me with my layout...<br />

It's time for another <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>challenge and this week's colours are a cheerful combination...<br />

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...<br />

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 <a href="http://vlvsketches.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Viva la Verve</b></a> sketch for my layout (although with rather large flowers instead of the dainty shamrocks!)...<br />

<br />
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...<br />
<br />

<br />
It's time for another great <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>challenge... Here are this week's colours to play with...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPN2gfwz3BM7WMGQG1O_KOP3iaEzoIwhHbsNcSVKqh-qv_4S3ofwh7QGzS2Vt9gyBpaRAZ5JTljS3pAH47qaqtbynn05DmAFT8v48k8oLT2cFAJjX_B9-NY-OfquvxnNkptSEdhBeyDItM/s1600/CQC332.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPN2gfwz3BM7WMGQG1O_KOP3iaEzoIwhHbsNcSVKqh-qv_4S3ofwh7QGzS2Vt9gyBpaRAZ5JTljS3pAH47qaqtbynn05DmAFT8v48k8oLT2cFAJjX_B9-NY-OfquvxnNkptSEdhBeyDItM/s1600/CQC332.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
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...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuQt8I3kbgZG_yLxbHDtbVj8OWu1E5uzIgZYYCXZRjl5xhXJ8TxYlu4xMLTFFgFFOkB5vyfkfvdqZ2ozZ7XmarSjVB0EonYHVsmx6sQSqWBMBjDxXyDVTdeHfslHdFi3pdylJyb4w28-L/s1600/Joyful+Journal.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuQt8I3kbgZG_yLxbHDtbVj8OWu1E5uzIgZYYCXZRjl5xhXJ8TxYlu4xMLTFFgFFOkB5vyfkfvdqZ2ozZ7XmarSjVB0EonYHVsmx6sQSqWBMBjDxXyDVTdeHfslHdFi3pdylJyb4w28-L/s640/Joyful+Journal.JPG" width="506" /></a></div>
<br />
I used the current <a href="http://vlvsketches.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Viva la Verve</b></a> sketch for my layout (with a few tweaks!)...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's time for another <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>challenge and this week we've got a fabulous combination of blues...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQfKL3EUYEJqcXwF6NSsqDbUpiJaQbaBOkyZF61UyupPWeobdAOSdIVRD3NFlP7lYnwRiZ2TG2XRAMqVfvhK2mJrtPPWMgFnY3bOWQYHOlgoMcjkjcYprTJbJz8jCR4NGJecTks9t9R6eR/s1600/CQC331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQfKL3EUYEJqcXwF6NSsqDbUpiJaQbaBOkyZF61UyupPWeobdAOSdIVRD3NFlP7lYnwRiZ2TG2XRAMqVfvhK2mJrtPPWMgFnY3bOWQYHOlgoMcjkjcYprTJbJz8jCR4NGJecTks9t9R6eR/s1600/CQC331.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhooeoBcsgE0-zls0h3eg9WNnWV-6-yUotFTA0BBbLpkHh6s0qZVa0Q3Yil4KElonDyCcJGzl_RklXUuotRadsj9syFdLCBqWa93BfqV3IDI_eydMA-GC6ZTDmrHnSBaXfURcqzNvH3o1lG/s1600/Beautiful+Blues+notebook.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhooeoBcsgE0-zls0h3eg9WNnWV-6-yUotFTA0BBbLpkHh6s0qZVa0Q3Yil4KElonDyCcJGzl_RklXUuotRadsj9syFdLCBqWa93BfqV3IDI_eydMA-GC6ZTDmrHnSBaXfURcqzNvH3o1lG/s640/Beautiful+Blues+notebook.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
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!<br />

<br />
After a week off last week I'm back with the latest <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>palette...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
How striking are these colours?? Gorgeous! I wanted to create something with a floral element to reflect the photo but I was running short of time so I broke out my set of MFT's Blueprints dies and whipped up this in no time at all...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's what I came up with...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved those heart-shaped cookies with the icing so wanted to create a similar effect with the hearts on my card. I die-cut the hearts and layered then covered with Crystal Effects and sprinkled with a touch of gold glitter. I added a stamped flower with a gold glitter centre, inspired by the inspiration photo. Here's a close up...<br />

The sentiment is from Verve's <a href="http://shopverve.com/vs-0153.html">Small Phrases</a> set (so versatile!). I went with the 'clean and layered' style with this one (probably my favourite!).<br />

<br />
I took some time last night and this afternoon to just chill out and play with some new stamps and some favourite challenges... In this busy world of mine it's all too easy to forget to set time aside just to relax and create for the sheer joy of it! Hopefully I'll be able to pop in and share my creations over the next few days and week, but today I'll start with this one...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I managed to score this beautiful Rose Wonder stamp set for free when I hosted my last SU party (yay for freebies!) and have been wanting to play with it for the past week. For this one I stamped the rose image three times on Blushing Bride and embossed with white EP, then cut three different layers and stacked up with dimensionals. The leaves were stamped on Crumb Cake and embossed as well. The card layers were cut using one of MFT's Blueprints die-namics collections (love!) and the sentiment is from a old MFT set.<br />
<br />
I combined this week's <a href="http://www.cardchallenges.com/search/label/sketchchallenge"><b>MFT sketch challenge</b></a> (tweaked a bit!) with the <a href="http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Color Throwdown </b></a>as my inspiration...<br />

I got some new Kaisercraft goodies for Christmas (thanks Mum!) and these colours reminded me of the colours in the collection so I went rummaging through the die-cuts that came with the papers and found a lovely big bloom that worked perfectly. I paired it with some old SU saffron dsp and ended up with this quick and simple card...<br />

<br />
It's time for another fun <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>challenge and this week's colours and just stunning together!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVPmBRHdbVWRjcKB3Avg6fTatZGWBM5379EJZSAtegu79MkTXQsHSlxFyx977W7vw_34HJ_wIkefuoYeIhkxSuG_QQO_dqnthZ_MtEmy-PtMdRJ8jiU0yRakEv6AvFoAPZsrGBCiGf7c4/s1600/CQC324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVPmBRHdbVWRjcKB3Avg6fTatZGWBM5379EJZSAtegu79MkTXQsHSlxFyx977W7vw_34HJ_wIkefuoYeIhkxSuG_QQO_dqnthZ_MtEmy-PtMdRJ8jiU0yRakEv6AvFoAPZsrGBCiGf7c4/s1600/CQC324.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I had to whip this up pretty quickly on Sunday afternoon before daylight disappeared (believe it or not, that's the last time I see daylight at my house that is good enough to take photos in before Tuesday!). I pulled out one piece of Glorious Green card from my stash and a scrap of Certainly Celery dsp and came up with this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzxMkB_Y4aZTKvnJCX_7wTtof9LiTKWaif6z8FMS683yW6HgOUrmGcWwERD2TVDcV6vigojpL08RB1fB-dyf9DpEp1mA7KBOAHYRtW0S4fEndKrwg34L3uVseIJynyFhZ6I6J1Zo-enr0c/s1600/Circles+of+Green.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzxMkB_Y4aZTKvnJCX_7wTtof9LiTKWaif6z8FMS683yW6HgOUrmGcWwERD2TVDcV6vigojpL08RB1fB-dyf9DpEp1mA7KBOAHYRtW0S4fEndKrwg34L3uVseIJynyFhZ6I6J1Zo-enr0c/s640/Circles+of+Green.JPG" width="496" /></a></div>
<br />
I stamped and embossed some leaves from Lighthearted Leaves onto white cardstock and coloured with Copic markers that matched the greens and aqua from the colour scheme, adding the other circle layers over the top. The sentiment and butterfly are from Verve, and I added some Kaisercraft rhinestones to finish it off.<br />
<br />
I used this week's <a href="http://vlvsketches.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Viva la Verve</b></a> sketch for the layout...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm back from Christmas break and ready to get creative in the new year! This week's <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ</b></a> challenge is so pretty...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I wanted to make a card and matching journal to encourage a friend of mine who's been going through a rough time recently. I pulled out some Kaisercraft papers with these colours and came up with this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJIIIFPf0JjsXWdyC4iol2wUZ6A3Z_WnHOv3ZAVlm7BOtgom56PcFuDBLqXsAuXPPIfJjL2i17nqlRLmvz2iyYCdnHfMEiSkFTuDEKzw32ynd4-50d1e3zvet9VvYWSu42kL0paVI6NDV/s1600/God+is+doing+a+good+work.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJIIIFPf0JjsXWdyC4iol2wUZ6A3Z_WnHOv3ZAVlm7BOtgom56PcFuDBLqXsAuXPPIfJjL2i17nqlRLmvz2iyYCdnHfMEiSkFTuDEKzw32ynd4-50d1e3zvet9VvYWSu42kL0paVI6NDV/s640/God+is+doing+a+good+work.JPG" width="532" /></a></div>

<br />
I'm playing along with this month's <a href="http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/2015/12/2015-winterholiday-coffee-lovers-blog-hop/"><b>Holiday Coffee Lover's Blog Hop</b></a> (a new challenge for me!) and combined this challenge with <a href="http://vervestamps.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/cup-of-kindness-inspiration-challenge.html"><b>Verve's Inspiration challenge</b></a> this month: A Cup of Kindness (not too difficult to link these two challenges!!)...<br />
<br />

I decided to use Verve's free digi stamp set this month - the first time I've used a digi set! And it was easier than I thought (I know... it probably sounds easy to everyone else, but I'm a hard-core stamping fan so digi-anything is a bit of a stretch for me!). I used a few copics to colour the cute cups and combined them with one of the sentiments to come up with this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMQDRGMfcYwIdeptE_JEAPXjpfQTCKpS9yfDms9smFcMR96Wl4_n1Lzz1l2r-RqUzUZ3FmhfQsFI5D1SNra4tvKfJiMsFpxBaVylFF3SzGVX3PyO7pm4gz4qkEM_arcREWUfcE1SraOWL/s1600/A+Coffee+Christmas.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMQDRGMfcYwIdeptE_JEAPXjpfQTCKpS9yfDms9smFcMR96Wl4_n1Lzz1l2r-RqUzUZ3FmhfQsFI5D1SNra4tvKfJiMsFpxBaVylFF3SzGVX3PyO7pm4gz4qkEM_arcREWUfcE1SraOWL/s640/A+Coffee+Christmas.JPG" width="488" /></a></div>
<br />
I have WAY too much Christmas dsp (well... all dsp let's be honest!) so I dug through my collection and put a few pieces of unrelated pieces together for the background of this. Some ribbon and rhinestones finished things off.<br />

It's time for another <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>challenge and this week's colours are very festive...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I wanted to play with SU's Sleighride Edgelits dies, which are just FAB! And these colours worked really well - this card came together surprisingly quickly (for me!)...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm a bit late in sharing my <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>ColourQ </b></a>card this week - this week is a hectic one! Here's the beautiful colour combination...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I need to crack on with making my Christmas cards so I decided to use these colours to create something festive...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrmAHGMtKke03j8LXe4IdDdh_RJG4Y2CANJ21OcNzgG8Qf3Bxmzrl_QOZxo7zev84g8fvO36cauGwk_tCoWGpr6eiC0DIK5vor7ukv_HhtVsKdxEYN3LjU2zCSlfSZ-vCHAG7tuOnTuZVG/s1600/Fab+Golden+Trees.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrmAHGMtKke03j8LXe4IdDdh_RJG4Y2CANJ21OcNzgG8Qf3Bxmzrl_QOZxo7zev84g8fvO36cauGwk_tCoWGpr6eiC0DIK5vor7ukv_HhtVsKdxEYN3LjU2zCSlfSZ-vCHAG7tuOnTuZVG/s640/Fab+Golden+Trees.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The colours in this photo are not very accurate because the only time I had to take the photo was in bright sunshine (overcast natural light is best!). The trees are embossed with gold EP and I added some glittery stars and Calypso Coral seam binding ribbon to finish.<br />
<br />
I used this fab sketch from the <a href="http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Fab Friday</b></a> challenge...<br />

I love the wood element - so fun! I pulled out some Kaisercraft dsp, including a piece with wooden planks on it, then got carried away and made two cards!<br />

I used a couple of Verve sets for the sentiments, added some Stampin Up ribbon and some die-cut butterflies from Sizzix and voila! I used this <a href="http://vlvsketches.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Viva la Verve</b></a> sketch again for my layout (some sketches are just so useful you can return to them over and over again!)...<br />

I'm popping in quickly to share a litle vintage thank you card I made using this week's <a href="http://vlvsketches.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Viva la Verve</b></a> sketch...<br />

I've had an order of thank you cards and of course I don't have enough masculine ones, so I spent some time yesterday creating some. This one used some Vintage Kaisercraft papers and Verve stamps...<br />

I thought I would join in the fun at this month's <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2015/11/november-2015-blog-hop.html"><b>Papertrey Ink blog hop </b></a>with this gorgeous inspiration photo...<br />

I loved the colours and the baubles so I used PTI's Star of Wonder, along with a couple of others, to create this...<br />

I stamped the circular images onto cardstock with Versamark then embossed with glittery embossing powder and then punched out with a 1 3/4" circle punch. The background was embossed with an old embossing folder I've had for years and the sentiment is a mixture of one of the frame stamps from the Mat Stack 2 collection, together with a sentiment from Christmas Poinsettia. I finished the baubles off with some bakers twine and satin ribbon. This card looks much more shimmery and sparkly IRL - one day I would love to learn how to photograph my cards properly!!<br />
