Grateful Grunge Rock

Hiya!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge and this week we've got a fab inspiration piece for you...

There are lots of possibilities with this one, but I thought they would work well for a boy's card. I need to make some more thank you cards for guys and there's one boy in particular I wanted to make a card for - he's 15 and a drummer in our church band so I challenged myself to see if I could make one to fit the bill with these colours...

And I was pretty pleased with how it turned out! I borrowed Gorgeous Grunge from Claire, a fellow demonstrator who lives round the corner (very handy!!) and played with that as well as Pennant Parade to create this card. Gorgeous Grunge was one of those sets I saw in the catalogue and thought 'what's the point in that?!' then as I've seen more and more samples with it I've become strangely drawn to use it... now I can't wait to get my hands on it at Convention lol!

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Pennant Parade, Gorgeous Grunge, Simply Serif mini alphabet
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Tempting Turquoise, Stazon black
Paper: Epic Day dsp, Cajun Craze, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black, Naturals White, Whisper White
Accessories: Neutrals candy dots
Tools: Pennant punch, 3/4" circle punch

Make sure you stop by the rest of the design team and see what fab creations they've made using these colours!

Thanks for stopping by...

Banner of thanks...

Hiya,

I had some time to play over the weekend so I've got a few cards to share over the coming week. The first one is a combination of the Colour Q colours as well as the Freshly Made Sketch this week...

I pulled out the This & That Epic Day papers for this one (really love these!!)...

I made a little banner for my focal point using the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and coordinating dies. I used a greeting from Perfect Pennants embossed with white EP on Real Red card and die-cut with the heart die. I added some vintage faceted buttons, a punched flower and some Real Red taffeta ribbon to the banner, and a strip of lave tape to the Daffodil dsp panel.

Thanks for stopping by - hope you're having a fab weekend!
