colourQ #200, Trendy Tuesday Feature and news from 12 Kits

Happy Tuesday and time for this week's new colourQ! 

Also today I have a card featured at Paper Crafters Library for Trendy Tuesday. A card I created for colourQ #197. 

Tomorrow is this month's reveal for The 12 Kits of Occasions! A few changes are happening this month. Even though the kits have been around for a couple years now we are finally launching our blog that you can visit HERE to see a sneak peak for this month, find the link to our Pinterest Page and new Facebook Page.  This month's projects are being revealed on the 31st.

Today marks our 200th colour palette for colourQ! Hope you come and play along with us.

My card features Rosie Posie, I doubled matted the card base and then adhered my flower to a stitched mat. I love how the daisy fits on the scalloped circle from Limitless Layers and yes there is a sequin in the centre, why did I fight them for so long!

Dynamic Duos #58

Time for a new colour Duo at Dynamic Duos!

This week uses monochromatic colours and what a great bright and bold combo!

Hope you join us this week.

I created two inspiration pieces this week.  For the first card I used Papertrey's Rosie Posie for a quick CAS card using the hexagons.  On a Tangerine Tango cardbase the hexagons are stamped with Papertrey's Terracotta Tile and Hero Arts Soft Cantaloupe mid-tone ink.

Cardstock:  White, Terracotta Tile (Papertrey Ink) Tangerine Tango (Stampin'  Up)

Stamps: Rosie Posie, Think Big Favorites #13 (Papertrey Ink)

Ink: Terracotta Tile, True Black (Papertrey Ink) Soft Cantaloupe (Hero Arts)

My second take on this week Duo is a bit more involved.  I embossed my white cardstock with the hexagon Cover Plate and then stamped images from Happy Hexagons on the embossed panel.

Cardstock:  White, Terracotta Tile (Papertrey Ink) Tangerine Tango (Stampin'  Up)

DD #49 & RS#60

Sharing a card for this week's Dynamic Duos Challenge and this week's RetroSketch.  Perfect colours for a wedding or anniversary card and with summer coming (yes it is coming!) these are the cards you want to have on hand.  

I am a huge fan of Deanna Dean of Kloset Kreations.  Her creations are the ones that I repeatedly say "Wow why didn't I think of that!".  She has such amazing talent creating CAS cards.  When I saw her card for this week's RetroSketch I had to CASE her.  I didn't switch things up too much, because hey you can't really change perfection. I used the True Black patterned papers from Papertrey Ink and, Smokey Shadow for my solid.  My ink colours are Soft Grey and Smokey Shadow. I am also submitting this to the  Simon Says Anything Goes challenge and the Passion For Papertrey Let's Celebrate Challenge.
