ColourQ 61 & CCCB33

Between sniffles & sneezes, I actually got to participate in the ColourQ this week.  Look at this fancy inspiration:

As a child, my grandmother had some peacock feathers and I was fascinated by the iridescent colors!!  What a sweet reminder of her!  Since my mojo has been replaced by a cold, I chose to make a very simple card using an idea I saw at the Baltimore Regionals; unfortunately, I cannot remember the talented demo who used the tree from Lovely as a Tree as a branch:

The tree was stamped in Wild Wasabi, and I used a marker to color over the “stem”.  Since I already had my embossing supplies out for the Paper Players challenge, I embossed the ornaments from Tree Trimmings in silver EP, then colored them with markers.  My Stamp-a-ma-jig made it really easy to position the ornaments and their strings!  I added some “sparkle” not only with the sentiment, but also with some Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the branches.  It’s backed with a panel of Pacific Point; here’s the inside:

This also qualifies for the City Crafter Challenge 33, which is “Blue Christmas”.  Thanks for visiting today---be sure to check out the CQC blog to see what the others came up with using these colors---and you play along too!
