ColourQ 83

Happy Tuesday, peeps! It’s ColourQ day---one of my favorite days of the week! Look at these lovelies that Arielle snagged for our inspiration this week:

I had this idea for my card for a while….not sure if it really translated the way I liked. (I seem to be having this problem lately!) Anyway, here we go:

I punched away a portion of the front of the card and allowed some of the inside DP to peek out…here’s another vantage point:

I blended an old set with a new set---Baroque Motifs (had to dust it off) and the new Four Frames (available in upcoming catalog)….along with Teeny Tiny Wishes. I saw a little trick on Fran Sabad’s blog for making your own “brads”….punch out cardstock with 1/4” circle punch and add a couple layers of Crystal Effects! I punched mine out first and laid them on some cardboard with Dotto repositionable adhesive. Added the CE (two coats, dry WELL in between), then just pulled them off the Dotto carefully and applied them to my project!

Here’s an inside view:

This also qualifies for the Little Red Wagon challenge 78, a Mother’s Day challenge. Thanks for visiting and make sure you wheel on over to the CQC blog to play along with these bright cheerful colors! They’ll make you smile!
