Woohoo, I actually got to do the ColourQ challenge this week! It’s not a rip-roaring, uber-creative, knock-your-socks-off card, but I enjoyed creating it for my ex-SIL who just had some surgery. So here’s the palette:
I had PTI’s Wreath for All Seasons set laying on my desk from another project, so I just went with it, along with the Mojo Monday sketch 64 from this week:
And here’s the card:
The recipient is not a fussy, frilly kind of gal, so I think this will appeal to her. It uses a mixture of PTI sets, some BG and SU papers and retired SU ribbon. Lots of sponging gives it a rustic look. TFL! And here’s a picture of Cassidy:
This is from the weekend….poor little thing had a bad tummyache yesterday and just wanted to be held all day!
