DD#26 & RS#35

At the first looking at both this weeks Dynamics Duos colours and RetroSketches fabulous sketch by Jennifer Wills I was a bit concerned.  However, the whole idea behind blog challenges is to push up to reach beyond our comfort zone and try something new.  Well I combined these two challenges together and came up with a card that I really LOVE.  The colours came together and the unloved image pulled it all together.  

Last summer during Scrap-a-Faire I learned that buying a large roll of foam tape at the hardware store was much more economical that buying the smaller rolls at the craft store.  The 36" roll at the craft store was $11.99 and the 350" roll at the hardware store was $12.98, big savings.  

Keeping close to the sketch I came up with this card:

colourQ #151

Isn't this weeks colourQ fantastic palette?  These colours work together perfectly.  For my card I used Papertrey's Background Basics: Medallion.  I tried out the stamp, which works in two layers, with each combination of colours.  This stamp is so versatile.

Be sure to visit the colourQ and see what the rest of the Design Team has come up with to inspire you. We hope you come and play with us this week!
