Green, Glorious Greens!

Hiya!

It's time for another fun ColourQ challenge and this week's colours and just stunning together!

I had to whip this up pretty quickly on Sunday afternoon before daylight disappeared (believe it or not, that's the last time I see daylight at my house that is good enough to take photos in before Tuesday!). I pulled out one piece of Glorious Green card from my stash and a scrap of Certainly Celery dsp and came up with this...

I stamped and embossed some leaves from Lighthearted Leaves onto white cardstock and coloured with Copic markers that matched the greens and aqua from the colour scheme, adding the other circle layers over the top. The sentiment and butterfly are from Verve, and I added some Kaisercraft rhinestones to finish it off.

I used this week's Viva la Verve sketch for the layout...

Gift set...

Hiya!

I'm back from Christmas break and ready to get creative in the new year! This week's ColourQ challenge is so pretty...

I wanted to make a card and matching journal to encourage a friend of mine who's been going through a rough time recently. I pulled out some Kaisercraft papers with these colours and came up with this...

This was my first chance to play with my new Verve stash - so many beautiful stamp sets!

A Christmas Coffee...

Hi there!

I'm playing along with this month's Holiday Coffee Lover's Blog Hop (a new challenge for me!) and combined this challenge with Verve's Inspiration challenge this month: A Cup of Kindness (not too difficult to link these two challenges!!)...

I decided to use Verve's free digi stamp set this month - the first time I've used a digi set! And it was easier than I thought (I know... it probably sounds easy to everyone else, but I'm a hard-core stamping fan so digi-anything is a bit of a stretch for me!). I used a few copics to colour the cute cups and combined them with one of the sentiments to come up with this...

I have WAY too much Christmas dsp (well... all dsp let's be honest!) so I dug through my collection and put a few pieces of unrelated pieces together for the background of this. Some ribbon and rhinestones finished things off.

A Rustic Winter Scene...

Hiya!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are very festive...

I wanted to play with SU's Sleighride Edgelits dies, which are just FAB! And these colours worked really well - this card came together surprisingly quickly (for me!)...

I used the Endless Wishes retired set for the sentiment and snowflakes - the rest is just card cut with the edgelits with a couple of Real Red embellishments - simple!

Fab Festive Trees

Hello!

I'm a bit late in sharing my ColourQ card this week - this week is a hectic one! Here's the beautiful colour combination...

I need to crack on with making my Christmas cards so I decided to use these colours to create something festive...

The colours in this photo are not very accurate because the only time I had to take the photo was in bright sunshine (overcast natural light is best!). The trees are embossed with gold EP and I added some glittery stars and Calypso Coral seam binding ribbon to finish.

I used this fab sketch from the Fab Friday challenge...

Make sure you check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of the Royal Court this week!

A Duo of Gratitude...

Hi there!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week's combination is a lovely one...

I love the wood element - so fun! I pulled out some Kaisercraft dsp, including a piece with wooden planks on it, then got carried away and made two cards!

I used a couple of Verve sets for the sentiments, added some Stampin Up ribbon and some die-cut butterflies from Sizzix and voila! I used this Viva la Verve sketch again for my layout (some sketches are just so useful you can return to them over and over again!)...

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

Vintage Thanks...

Hiya!

I'm popping in quickly to share a litle vintage thank you card I made using this week's Viva la Verve sketch...

I've had an order of thank you cards and of course I don't have enough masculine ones, so I spent some time yesterday creating some. This one used some Vintage Kaisercraft papers and Verve stamps...
