ColourQ #172

Hello there and happy Tuesday. I hope you are ready for a wild set of colors this week at the ColourQ. I was a little thrown off when I first saw them. Arielle sure has a way of doing that me...haha. This is one of those color combos that I would have NEVER thought to put together.

Here is my card:


I think it was the gray that made this one so hard for me. Once I decided I could do gray leaves the rest just fell into place. This set from PTI has two steps. I tried doing gray then stamping off and doing the gray again, but that didn't work so well. So I went with black instead. I really like the way it turned out.


Here you can see that I attached the card panel with foam tape and the flowers with my dots. I originally stamped the flower centers black. I showed the card to my daughter and she told me to do black pearls instead..such a good idea.

Here are this week's colors:


Thanks for stopping by,
Deanna

  6. This is stunning, Deanna. First, LOVE the layout. Second, those leaves in the gray make the image look hand-stitched. I would love that on linen napkins. Finally, I think you have a daughter with an eye for design! The added dimension with the bling adds that 'mwah' touch!!

  8. Deanna, I am so blown away with this card. I have been away from stamping for 6 1/2 months due to hand surgery and this is the first week I have been at the table "trying" to make a card. I can't find any creativity and was ready to quit. I saw your card and I just have to make it. I love the look and colors. Thanks for the little push that I needed.
