colourQ challenge #128

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I missed making a card for St. Patrick's Day which I planned to do all week, especially with a last name like McNeely.  My husbands Great Grandfather immigrated to Canada from Ireland in the 1800's.  He settled in a small town just outside of Ottawa called Carelton Place.  There is now a street named McNeely Avenue that was named after him.

This week's colourQ pallete was grey with a selection of greens. I chose Papertrey colours Soft Stone, Green Leaf, Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse and Vintage Cream for my card.  I made my card base using Soft Stone, the I die cut my Parisian Lace doily in Green Leaf.  I just got this die and I am in love with it.   By using the co-ordinating punch out tool and the metal shim all the pieces popped out easily.  The level of detail on this die is incredible.  I was thrilled to be able to pull out my new Lighten Up stamp set and dies.  I hope you enjoy it.




All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:

Cardstock: Soft Stone, Green Leaf, Spring Moss, Vintage Cream
Stamps: Lighten Up, Tag Its #3
Ink: Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse (PTI), Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)

  3. How wonderful that a street is named after your husbands great grandparents. Love your card and the pretty shades of green you used. That doily looks great!
    Hope I can find some time to enter this one today, kinda late though. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tracey.

  5. Awesome card, Tracey. ;-) I love how you used these challenge colors. Being in such a 'bleh' mood these days, I was less than interested in these colors, but you've done them proud here. I love the beautiful doily in the background, and the Lighten Up set is one of my new favorites. Love your card! ;-)
