CQC65 Thank You

DSCF4258

I am still making green and brown thank you cards, as Arielle’s ColourQ challenge was similar to yesterday’s SCS colors…take a gander at THIS incredible inspiration piece:

This is so bold and striking!  I really wanted to make a black card, but it seemed a bit too dark, so I went with some lovely BG Capella and Porcelain papers and SU’s Artistic Etchings:

There’s a lot going on here---crochet flower, antique brads & trinkets, crinkly ribbon, hanging tags that say “thank you” and some little teeny bling!   I hope you will find time to play along with this striking color combo---I think a New Year’s card would be awesome in these colors!  Did you forget to send someone a Christmas card?  Send them a NY card!!!  Check out what the other designers have come up with here at the ColourQ blog!

So many fun elements on your card, where do I start! Love the crinkly ribbon and all the stamped sentiments. You did a great job with that challenge in keeping it bright and not dreary. And of course, that baby is just adorable! =)
