colourQ Challenge #146
Time for another colourQ challenge. A fabulous colour palette once again. At first wanted to follow Arielle`s lead and make a Christmas card because I really should get started. However, we have had record breaking heat in Southern Ontario all summer and this past week we topped 100 degrees with high humidity a few days. We are not used to heat like that around here. Don`t get me wrong I am not complaining, but when you are not used to that heat it slows you down and Christmas was about the last thing on my mind. So I decided to pull out my PTI Lighten Up, which has been pretty unloved and create a card to cheer someone up.

Love the gorgeous lamps! Awesome take on the colour challenge...love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Tracey, lov ethe little scalloped border peeking out. I hope you get a break from the heat soon, we finally had a day in the low 70's yesterday ~ such a relief! It was nice to actually enjoy being outside ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours - love the pop of red scalloped edging on the main panel!
ReplyDeleteYour card is a wonderful way to brighten someone's day! Great use of the challenge colors and I love your C&S design!
ReplyDeleteoh those lamps are so cute! love how you added the dimension to them!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand how 100-degree temps could dampen your Christmas spirit! Hey wait, don't they tell temperature in your part of the world in Celcius? So 100 for you is 212 for me! That's HOT!!!!!!! Seriously, I love these lamps. They're so versatile and perfect for the color challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove the lamps and the card, Tracey! Thanks for sharing your card with us this week at the ColourQ.
ReplyDeleteWell, this turned out SO cute! I love this lamps! I hear you, on the Christmas cards.... I think it's the heat that's deterring me, too! Hope you are having a great weekend, Tracey! :)
ReplyDeletecute little sentiment to match those lamps :)

I'm with you, Tracey! I just cannot wrap my brain around Christmas cards right now! LOL! You've rocked this card set though (it's gone onto my wish list!) and I love that little scalloped edge. :)
ReplyDeleteReally cute card, Tracey! So glad you shared your card with us this week at the ColourQ.
ReplyDeleteLove what you created with these colors! This is beautiful, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on these colors (I think my lighten up set is not feeling much love lately either!)~ Good Luck staying cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. ;-) I love the Lighten Up stamp & die set, with all the fun, encouraging sentiments. I love how you used the colors for the lamp shades in the different patterns. It's perfect. ;-)
