Stippled Coral Concept...

Hi there!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are SO pretty...

I was in a creative mood and wanted to add to my card collection so decided to make a set, using a mix of dsp and a soon-to-be-retired set, Stippled Blossoms. I started with a Mothers' Day card as it's Mothers' Day in Australia (where I grew up and where my Mum still lives!) this coming Sunday...

I then used the same design to put together three more for my stash...

I used this week's Card Concept as my inspiration...

I think this design falls under the 'freestyle collage' style...

Hello Sunshine!

Hi there!

It's time for another great ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are rather regal...

I was wondering what to do with these colours until I saw the CAS(E) this Sketch layout this week and I had an idea to use Kinda Eclectic... and ended up with this...

Here's the sketch I followed (I flipped it upside down)...

I used the new Crazy about You stamp set and dies, together with some Gorgeous Grunge splatters and a scrap of retired Raspberry Ripple and the Beautiful Wings embosslit die.

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

Vases of Thanks

Hi there,

It's been a busy week, but I've managed to create a little something for the ColourQ this week - check out these fabulous colours...

When I saw the combination of Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral and Smoky Slate I thought of Blendabilities (I have those sets!) so went looking for an image in my stamp collection that would work - I ended up settling on Vivid Vases and came up with this...

Of course I had to use my new favourite stamp set, Crazy about You, as well. I found a piece of Cherry Cobbler card embossed with the honeycomb embossing folder in my stash so used that as my background. The 'thanks' and accompanying stamped sentiment are both Strawberry Slush.

Crazy Mambo Thank You...

Hiya!

I'm a bit late posting my ColourQ card this week - my day kinda ran away from me! This week's colours are a lovely combo with lots of possibilities...

I wanted to use the Crazy about You stamp set and coordinating dies for this one, so I dug through some retured paper to find some Wisteria Wonder dsp, stumbled across a coordinating Melon Mambo doily and ended up with this...

The flower is from the same set, stamped with Melon Mambo and punched with a scallop circle punch. The centre is from the Artisan Embellishment kit. I added some die-cut leaves using a retired leaf die, as well as some Marina Mist ribbon.

I used this week's Retro Sketch for my layout...

The Royal Court have created some stunning projects to inspire you this week - make sure you check them out!

Autumn meets Spring...

Hiya!

I've been playing with a few new goodies from the upcoming Spring/Summer catty, in particular the Crazy about You stamp set and coordinating dies, for which there are endless possibilities! I decided to play along with the sketch from Create with Connie & Mary and thought it was a good one to make a set of cards with. Here's what I ended up with...

And here's the sketch...

The papers are from the soon-to-be-retired Colour Me Autumn dsp.

Here's the recipe: 
Stamps: Crazy about You
Ink: Soft Suede, Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow
Paper: Colour Me Autumn, Soft Suede, Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand, Naturals White, Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Gold buttons, linen thread
