colourQ #122

4 Comments

 Happy Tuesday and welcome back for another colourQ challenge! I think you’ll fall in love with this week’s colourQ…I certainly did!

Here’s my card! (I’ll admit, it took a few tries to get the rows of hearts the way I wanted them to be!) The pink ink came out a little lighter than I expected…it was the closest pink that I had to Regal Rose, so I added the strips of Regal Rose at the top and bottom of the stamped part to make sure I worked that color in. I’m a fan of sweater-y patterns, and I love how this card came together!

Supplies: image stamp (Hero Arts), sentiment (Lawn Fawn), ink (Memento – Angel Pink; Stampin’ Up! – Crumb Cake,  Real Red; Brilliance – Graphite Black), tab die (My Favorite Things), twine (Whisker Graphics), heart brad (Queen & Co.) cardstock (Crumb Cake & Regal Rose – Stampin’ Up!), embossing folder (Sizzix)
Here are our colors for this week:
To be considered for this week’s colourQueen, make sure to link your creation at the colourQ blog by Sunday, February 5 at noon Central Time! Don’t forget to display the challenge colors and link back to the colourQ blog in your entry post.

As always, The rest of the colourQ Royal Court have created some sweet and lovely projects with this week’s colors! You can see them on the colourQ blog or by visiting their personal blogs. (The links are to the left under the thumbnail of this week’s challenge colors.) 

I’m still in Anaheim at CHA…there are some gorgeous and fun products coming out soon! I still have a booth or two that I’d like to visit, but when I’ve had time, I’ve stopped by SRM Stickers, Paper Smooches, Lawn Fawn, The Greeting Farm, Basic Grey, Sizzix, Grant Studios, Bo Bunny, October Afternoon, Cosmo Cricket, American Crafts, COPIC, and a few others! I wish I could share lots of pictures of all the new stuff, but to be honest, a lot of it is already being previewed at each company’s web site or on their Facebook page!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with this week’s colourQ!

Moxie Fab World Square Sketch Challenge

3 Comments

Hi there! Glad you stopped by to look at my card for the “Square Sketch Challenge” at the Moxie Fab World blog! It’s part of the celebration for the latest special issue of Paper Crafts Magazine, “Card Ideas for Paper Crafters.”

I had fun with this one…I don’t normally do big elements on my cards, so it was great to stretch my creative horizons and come up with something new and innovative for this challenge!

Here’s my card:

Supplies: card base, cardstock (PaperTrey Ink), twine (My Mind’s Eye), scrap of paper (Crate Paper), Crop-a-Dile, glue, embossing folder (Sizzix), Spellbinders die.
My first thought was to create a large flower, like on the sketch, but I changed my mind and decided to create a twine heart in its place! I’m so happy with how this came out!
And here’s the sketch it’s based on, created by Go-to-Gal Kim Kesti:

Thanks so much for stopping by! This challenge runs until Monday, September 19 at midnight EST. For all the details on this and the other sketch challenges, visit the Moxie Fab World blog!
