Sorry for the long absence from my blog! It's been a really busy time over the last few weeks and although I've made stuff for classes, I haven't had a chance to photograph them to share. I had a bit of time last night and thought I'd play along with this week's Colour Q challenge, along with the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary...
When I saw the colours I thought of leaves with those different greens so I made a set of quick cards for guys (I never seem to have these on hand when I need them!). Here's the one based on the sketch above...
And here's one with the same elements flipped around...
It was easy to create this set with SU's leaves die because you can put three different colours of card over the die and put through the Big Shot in one go - this makes twelve leaves - perfect for 4 cards! I scrunched each leaf for a bit of texture, added a circle embossed with the Square lattice folder, then some water spots from French Foliage. The greeting is from a hostess set, stamped with charcoal ink from the distressing kit. I added a button to each to finish!
Here's the complete set:
That's all for now... thanks for stopping by!

Amy, these are perfect. Masculine cards always seem to be the most difficult, you made them look easy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with us at ColourQ. :)
I really like your card! I love how you have crumpled the leaves to give them life. I love the waterspots stamped on the cardstock. I really like how you anchored everything down with a textured circle. Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary challenge this week!
