Another fun colour pallete this week at colourQ. The colours are very fitting for July the 4th celebrations in the US. We just celebrated July 1st in Canada so I wanted to create a card that wasn't holiday focused. I just received Papertrey's Lovely Layers in the mail last week and couldn't wait to give the medallion a go. Using the four colours in this weeks palette along with the same process that Dawn McVey used in last weeks Make It Monday video
HERE, I created my medallion. What I enjoyed the most about creating this embellishment was that there was so much stamping. After creating my first card I didn't quite like the look of it, it seemed a bit busy for me. So I recreated the card using my more CAS approach and it felt right. The first card I created is in this post
HERE.
I am interested to know which one you like best Take One or Take Two. :)

Well you know I am a polka dot girl, but the first card is definitely you Tracey! They are both fabulous as always so I say enter them both!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are both stunning...you are making me think I need that die set! I like this one better...although I love the polka dots on the last one, I'm a sucker for white space!!
ReplyDeleteReally sweet design, Tracey! And belated congrats on your design team gig. So cool! I'm usually away from my computer in the summer months, so unfortunately have fallen behind on everyone's blog. Can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Tracey! Love that Papertrey set.
ReplyDeleteWow...you did an amazing job on this card. I did not purchase the Lovely Layers set and after seeing your creations I am regretting it. Your card is so perfect and detailed, just fabulous.
ReplyDeletethis turned out so lovely, Tracey! I love it, and it doesn't look patriotic (at least American-patriotic) at all, just very pretty. :) Thanks for playing ColourQ, and for popping by my blog! I really hope you had a happy Canada Day. Hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool - I love the gorgeous simplicity! Thanks so much for playing at the colourQ this week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Tracey, love your flower! thanks for joining us each week at the ColourQ and sharing your cards.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful one!!! I love the scalloped square, such a great focal shape. Very hard to pick which card I like better...both are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being chosen as a Courtier!
ReplyDeletebeautiful card - I like it more than Take One, but both are lovely
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I'm in love with this PTI set/dies! I can't stop using them!
ReplyDeleteTracey, Congrats on being named a Courtier again...you really deserved it.
