Clean & Simple Card Making 3 - Day 9

I never thought that I would ever get so messy making a card or that it would be this much fun. My card is based on a card Debby Hughes created while she demonstrated creating textural effects.  It isn't perfect but I think I might do it again if I ever get all the sticky bits off my cutting mat! So many techniques--embossing, Copics, masking, paint splatter, Wink of Stella, embossing paste and stenciling.  Then of course i had to add a few sequins for balance. Definitely the most I have ever done to one card.  I have held off with the embossing paste trend, but I actually really like the texture and look of it.

colourQ #202

Happy Tuesday and time for this week's colourQ colours. 

As soon as I saw the inspiration photo I knew I wanted to try and recreate the cushion and the first thing that came to my mind was my Mehndi Medallion stamp.  I embossed on the grey circle and then coloured some of the details with Copic markers. Matted the circle with a Daffodil Delight scalloped circle and matted the card base with red, added a few sequins and done.

Go the the colourQ and see the amazing creations the rest of the Design Team has for you this week and I really hope that you come and play along.
