Bicycle Boy's Birthday...

Hiya!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge and this week we've got some bright colours to play with...

I had a request from my sister to make a boy's birthday card featuring a bicycle so I thought these colours would work for that. I pulled out one of SU's hostess sets called Life's Adventure and some dsp from the Spring/Summer catty and created this...

I used Cajun Craze instead of Dusty Durango cos we've never had that colour in the UK! The bike was coloured with Blendabilities and the sun (from Kinda Eclectic) was stamped a couple of times with Hello Honey ink.

I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch for my layout...

Rainy Day Fox...

Hello!

I'm back with another creation from my creative week (well this one was the weekend - yesterday I had a lovely quiet day to play!). This time I combined the colours from Create with Connie & Mary and this week's Seize the Sketch...

I pulled put one of the new hostess sets, Life's Adventures - perfect for colouring - together with a Project Life card from the Everyday Adventure collection, and came up with this...

So cute!! I discovered that the font in the Life's Adventure set matches perfectly with the font from one of the stamps in the A Dozen Thoughts set - and they work so well together!! The fox was stamped on Whisper White with Stazon and punched out with the 2 1/2" circle punch, then stamped again on Naturals White, coloured with ink and an aquabrush. I cut out the fox and umbrella then popped up over the circle image with dimensionals. I embossed the other sentiment in white and added some silver buttons and silver satin ribbon to finish.

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Life's Adventures, A Dozen Thoughts
Ink: Stazon, Versamark, Tangelo Twist, Bermuda Bay
Paper: Project Life card (Everyday Adventure), Bermuda Bay, Tangelo Twist, Whisper White, Basic Grey, Naturals White
Accessories: Silver buttons, silver satin ribbon, white EP
Tools: 2 1/2" circle punch, Starburst framelits

Big Bright Birthday...

Hello!

This week's ColourQ challenge is a bright one...

I thought it was a great opportunity to break out my new Big News set, with a couple of other sets to compliment the big greeting...

The only thing I wasn't happy with on this one is the colouring on the cake... I only noticed how patchy the bottom tier is after I'd photographed it... grr! Can't wait to get Calypso Coral blendabilities!! The cake is from the hostess set, Life's Adventures, and I coloured it with a blender pen and inkpads. I added a couple of flowers from Petite Petals as well as a little punched banner as directed by the fab Deconstructed Sketch this week...

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Big News, Petite Petals, Life's Adventure
Paper: Elegant Eggplant, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral, Stazon
Accessories: rhinestones, Iridescent Ice embossing powder
Tools: Petite Petal punch, banner punch, Piercing tool & template
