colourQ #93

July 13, 2011March 18, 20152 Comments

Happy Tuesday and welcome back for a closer look at my card for this week’s colourQ challenge (#93)!

Here’s this week’s colour combo for you to play with:

And here’s my card!

Supplies: Patterned paper (Hobby Lobby brand), embossing folder (Sizzix), typed sentiment, image stamp (DeNami Designs – crab; The Rubber Cafe’ – party hat), ribbon, Copic markers, cardstock (Stampin’ Up!).

Sometimes I run out of cardstock in the challenge colors, so I try to match the colors with paper that I have…in this case, I got very lucky and found some paper in my stash that is pretty close to most of the colors! I bought it several years ago at Hobby Lobby, so I’m not sure if it’s still sold there.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

To be considered for this week’s colourQueen, link up your entry for cQc #93 at the colourQ blog before Sunday, July 17th at noon Central Time.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by to look at the card I’m entering for this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge (#123)!

I colored this Birthday Josh stamp from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps while we were on vacation a few weeks ago, and thought he’d be great to use with this week’s sketch:
