CAS Butterfly Blessing...

Hiya!


It's that time of the week again - ColourQ time! This week's palette has lots of possibilities...

I was short on time and looking for some inspiration to help me along so when I saw the CAS(E) this Sketch layout I knew it would work with these colours so I pulled out my butterfly stamps and punches and ended up with this...

Here's the sketch I followed...

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Kinda Eclectic, Blessed by God
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Cherry Cobbler, Hello Honey, Cherry Cobbler blendabilities
Paper: Kraft, Whisper White
Accessories: Pearls
Tools: Butterfly punches, Banners framelits

Soft Sweetbriar Blessing...

Hello!

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

I wanted to do some more colouring with Blendabilities and seeing as I have both the Razzleberry and Olive collections I thought this combo was perfect. I chose the beautiful Sweetbriar Rose stamp and spend some happy time colouring and cutting...

The image was stamped twice - the two larger flowers were coloured twice, cut out and popped up over the whole image for extra dimension. The panel behind was stamped with the Hardwood background stamp with Wisteria Wonder ink (stamped off first) then the sentiment was stamped over the top with Rich Razzleberry ink. I think my favourite thing about this card is the background - I inked up the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder with Soft Sky ink using my brayer, then embossed a piece of Soft Sky card - love the effect of this technique!

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Sweetbriar Rose, Hardwood, Blessed by God
Ink: Memento ink, Soft Sky, Wisteria Wonder, Rich Razzleberry, Blendabilities (Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry)
Paper: Soft Sky, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, doily
Accessories: White organza ribbon, Brights candy dots
Tools: Project Life framelits, Beautifully Baroque embossing folder

Feathery Blessings...

Hello!

I was super excited this week when my box of pre-order goodies arrived from the Autumn/Winter catty! There was a bunch of stuff to play with but I decided to go with something autumnal before getting the Christmas stuff inky. So I combined the gorgeous Four Feathers stamp set and framelits with the Color Me Autumn dsp to come up with this...

I gotta say - I love how this one turned out! I used the Mojo Monday sketch this week for my layout...

I stamped the larger feather with Blackberry Bliss ink and the smaller one with Versamark, embossed with gold then coloured with Cajun Craze and an aquabrush. Both were die-cut with the matching framelits (available as a bundle - yay!).

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Four Feathers, Something to Say, Blessed by God
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Versamark
Paper: Color Me Autumn dsp, Crumb Cake, Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla, Blackberry Bliss
Accessories: Blackberry Bliss ribbon, Gold Basic metal buttons, linen thread
Tools: Project Life corner punch, Circle card thinlit collection, Feathers Framelits dies
