ColourQ66

Happy 2011!  I hope everyone had a safe, happy & healthy New Year’s!  After taking a couple days off from stamping, I jumped right back in with Arielle’s stunning ColourQ challenge today:

Be still, my heart---I am in love with these colors!  I have vowed this year to make MORE birthday cards---I never seem to have enough----so here is the first of the year:

I had half of a Top Note diecut in my Basic Black folder and a few precious pieces of Soft Sky left, so I incorporated some polka dots into whatever I could—embossed, stamped and on DP!  My sentiment flag is from Lil’ Inker—thanks, Laura!  The polka dots are PTI, colored with markers or blender pen & ink.
