Happy Tuesday, happy ColourQ day! I was soooo tempted to do a Halloween card when I saw the challenge colors that Arielle had for us today:
Aren’t these salt & peppers so cute?! I resisted the Halloween temptation and went with a “bee” theme instead:
I couldn’t come up with any image that would unify these colors, so I went with my collage-style go-to layout! All the images are from a CHF set called Sweet Bee; I pulled out some Ambrosia and Nook & Pantry BG paper and Peach Parfait Patterns DP for my little squares. A couple of the squares have a few little embellishments, and the bee’s wings are Gelly-rolled:
This also qualifies for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge #2, to use buttons & twine….(although I haven’t used them in a very imaginative way!) Edited to add: And it also qualifies for the Basic Grey Mix & Match challenge #44!!!
So I hope you can put your thinking cap on and come up with some cute creations using these colors! Buzz on over to the CQC blog to see what the other designers have come up with and share your creation too!
- Stamps: Sweet Bee, CHF; Background Basics: Plaid, PTI
- Paper: WW, Sahara Sand, Peach Parfait Patterns DP, Ambrosia & Nook & Pantry DP, BG
- Ink: Basic Gray, Sahara Sand, Peach Parfait, Craft White
- Acc: Button, Twine, Nesties, Dimensional, mini rhinestones, GellyRoll pen

I never tire of seeing your cards and Cassidy's bright smiling face! Great job with these colors--that really was a challenge.
Oooh this is fabulous! I love your take on the color challenge... and I'm going to have to see if I have any paper to play along because I LOVE that! Really stunning card... WOW!
Beautiful card, LeAnne! I love your "B" theme and the way you combined multiple BG papers (works for the current challenge at BasicGrey challenges: mix & match):

Super Duper imagination with the "B-Day" sentiment and all the bee items! Very clever and your choices could have been done in any color combo and been just as cute! You are so creative and I learn from you with every card. Your middle name must be "Inspiration" for sure!
Love and blessings, Martha
