colourQ #316

Happy Tuesday--

I have two posts today--The 25 Days of Christmas Tags and CASology combined and the colourQ.

It's time for this week's colourQ challenge!

Wait why am I posting for colourQ? I am back from my hiatus and will be posting regularly with the team again each week. Good timing to find my Stampin' Up inks.

I used the Essential by Ellen Bohemian Garden and Mondo Magnolia stamps for my card this week. I stamped on both a white and a cream card base. I liked the randomness of the stamping better on the cream base but liked the white with the colours better. I will share both, what do you think?

30 Day Coloring Challenge -Day 25

The fun thing about crafty get together's is that you get to play with the other kids toys!
On Saturday Emily bought her Gansai watercolours to play with. Oh my goodness they are awesome! The creamy texture takes watercolouring, for me, to a whole new level! I wish that I had started to play earlier in the day with them because I ended up rushing a bit. However, I did manage to get a few of the Ellen Essentials Bold Blooms coloured.

This is for Day 25 of Kathy Racoosin`s 30 Day Color Challenge.

All the details can be found HERE on her blog The Daily Marker.

MIM #161: Watercolor Splats

Happy Friday, I didn't want the week to pass without trying the current Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Technique: Watercolor Splats. I made a panel blending Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest and Summer Sunrise and cut out three butterflies from it. The first one was technique gone badly, but I kept the other two. The first one was also the one that captured all of the colours.

Reverse Confetti March Color Challenge

I can't get spring out of my head, this has been by far the longest and coldest winter I can ever remember. Winter is the toughest season for me and really it can't get warm fast enough. So playing with this spring colour palette from Reverse Confetti was a chance for me to imagine spring.

I thought that the patterned paper I chose was a perfect match to the top of the dress in the inspiration photo.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - March '14

A card for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

The theme this month was to add high gloss to your creations. So I pulled out Sketched Scribbles and created a card base with some spring colours and then I die cut Wonderful Words Hello 5 times to create a dimensional accent. The first four in white and the top hello is orange foil.

Here is a close up of the hello die cut.

Happy hopping!

Clean and Simple Card Making 3 - Day 7

Another card for Clean & Simple Card Making 3, Kristina Werner taught a lesson on Copic colouring on vellum. I used this technique to make my sun using shades of yellow. My sun rays didn't want to lay flat when the card was standing so I needed to glue the rays to the vellum from the front because I had already glued the back in place inside the card. I took a scrap strip of vellum and put dots of Tombow Multi glue on it and slid it under the rays--one at a time. Maybe lazy but it worked.

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Farm Fresh

We have a fabulous new sponsor, Taylored Expressions, for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Farm Fresh challenge! The LEAD of this challenge will receive their choice of TWO PETITE SETS from Taylored Expressions!

Taylored Expression provided some stamps and dies for the Curtain Call Crew to play with for this challenge. I had so much fun being a cowgirl and colouring this fantastic image in! I think this will be a fun card to give to my daughter that I am so proud of for making some good choices lately! I am also submitting this card to Seize the Sketch #15 and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge a card for a special girl!
