Stippled Blossom Tag...

Hi there,


I've just remembered that I totally forgot to post my ColourQ card last night! I was called out to a last minute rehearsal and so was rushing round and it totally slipped my mind. Anyway, here are this week's colours...

The yellow/orange combo made me think of the two-step set Stippled Blossoms so that's what I started with...

I used this week's Tag You're It challenge to inspire me for this one.


Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Stippled Blossoms, Petite Pairs, Gorgeous Grunge
Ink: Hello Honey, Tangerine Tango, Always Artichoke
Paper: Under the Tree dsp, Whisper White, Always Artichoke, Soft Sky
Accessories: Mossy Meadow ribbon, linen thread
Tools: Scalloped tag Topper punch, Lovely Lace embossing folder

Krafty Blended Bauble...

Hello!


I thought I'd better start cracking out some more Christmas cards with December fast approaching so the other day I pulled out some images that I had coloured whilst on holiday in August but had never got around to using on a card. I had lots of fun colouring the Christmas Bauble image in with my Blendabilities...

I used a couple of challenges to help me pull my card together: the layout from Freshly Made Sketches this week as well as the inspiration pic from Card Concept...

I was inspired by the kraft paper and red ribbon from the pic so I used some Under the Tree dsp with Cherry Cobbler seam binding as my starting point. I do believe this card fits the 'clean and layered' style!


Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Christmas Bauble, Good Greetings
Ink: Memento black, Versamark, Blendabilities
Paper: Under the Tree dsp, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Naturals White
Accessories: Cherry Cobbler seam binding, Cherry Cobbler embossing powder, gold button, linen thread
Tools: Project Life Corner rounder punch

Blended Apothecary Wreath...

Hello!


It's Tuesday, which means time for another fun ColourQ challenge. Check out this week's pretty combo...

I was pondering what to do with these colours when I noticed that I had Blendabilities in Old Olive and Coastal Cabana (close enough to Cool Caribbean I hope!) so I went looking for something to colour and decided on the Apothecary Art set (and oldie but a goodie!). Here's what I ended up with...

The background is some Color Me Autumn dsp embossed with the Mosaic embossing folder and then sanded to get a distressed feel. I added some silver baker's twine and a few pearls coloured with Blendabilities to finish. I used the Deconstructed Sketch this week for my layout...


Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Apothecary Art, Regarding Dahlias
Ink: Early Espresso, Blendabilities (Old Olive, Coastal Cabana, Skin Tones)
Paper: Color Me Autumn dsp, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Accessories: Silver Baker's Twine, Pearls
Tools: Labels framelits, Mosaic embossing folder


Make sure you check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the Royal Court this week!

Blooming Birthday Tag

Hiya!


It's time for another ColourQ challenge and I just love this week's inspiration pic - so pretty!

I had to substitute a few colours as three of these are retired so I used Old Olive, Tangelo Twist and Cajun Craze. I decided to break out a hostess set and do some colouring and cutting for this one...

I was inspired by the Tag You're It challenge this week and Lyn's beautiful tag card so that was my inspiration for this one. The flowers were stamped on watercolour paper, coloured with an aquabrush and inkpads, then I covered the images with Versamark ink and clear embossed twice to give them a shiny glazed look (you can't really see in the photo but it's really pretty IRL). I keep forgetting that the Tag You're It challenge is supposed to be CAS so I added layers and pearls before realising... oops!


Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Bloom with Hope
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Tangelo Twist, Cajun Craze, Stazon, Versamark
Paper: Project Life card, Color Me Autumn dsp, Chocolate Chip, Watercolour, Naturals White
Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Iridescent Ice EP Tangelo Twist ribbon, pearls
Tools: Angled Tag Topper punch

Make sure you check out the gorgeous creations by the rest of the design team this week!
