A ColourQ Goodbye...

Hiya!

I'm sad to say that this week is my last week on the ColourQ 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...

And here's my card...

I used the current Viva la Verve sketch for my layout...

Oh Baby!

Hiya,

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week's colour combination is perfect for baby-themed cards...

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!

I had a friend in mind who's baby shower is coming up soon, so this will be going to her...

Make sure you check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team this week!

Pumpkin Rose Botanicals...

Hiya!

I'm posting my ColourQ card a little early today as I'm going away for a few days. This week's colours are lovely and bright...

I can't seem to stop using the fabulous Botanical Blooms dies from SU so here's another creation with them...

I used a slightly modified version of the Viva la Verve sketch this week 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...

Thanks for stopping by!

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...

Make sure you check out the fab creations from the rest of the design team this week!
