ColourQ 83

CQC83 Banner

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:

CQC83-LeAnne

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!

I just happened upon your site and am soooo happy I did! I LOVE the colors and the cheeriness of this card!! I was just saying to a good friend of mine, and fellow SU demonstrator, I hope that Baroque Motifs joins in the Lovely as a Tree set in its longevity in the catalog! Thank you and you are now in my favorites bar - thank you for sharing!
