ColourQ138 & ISSC16

  CQC138-LeAnne

Woohoo!  It’s Tuesday, and that means another ColourQ!  Check out this stylish inspiration photo:

Let’s just say that these will not be a part of MY wardrobe any time soon!  I am more of a flipflops/flats kind of girl!  Besides, DH would be looking up at me if I wore these!  But it did give me a chance to use a fun set to make a cute card for a special friend:

CQC138-LeAnne-001

I made my own DP by stamping some floral images in the challenge colors; I stamped that stylish pump in Poppy Parade,  and some script background in Pool Party, and then put it all together using the sketch from iSpy Sketches:

I thought the sketch was a bit challenging, but it came together more easily than I anticipated!!  But you’ve got to read the inside:

Aw, isn’t that fun?!  I hope you can play along with us this week as well!  Share your creation over at the ColourQ blog and see what the other designers fabricated with these fun colors---I am sure you’ll be inspired!

This what happens when you’re ready for a walk in the stroller and your grammy needs to run back inside for her cell:

Patience, little grasshopper!

LOVE this LeAnne! You rocked those colors and I love the dsp you made--how fresh and fun these colors look together. Great use of the sketch too and I adore the inside! Oh how I remember that stiff as a board protest move--it's been long enough now that I can laugh about it, LOL!

Love this card LeAnne. Love the colors and the sentiments made me smile.

Linda said...

It looks like she is almost getting to big for that stroller. What a cutie.
Great card! I never every had a pair of shoes. I am always amazed at people who can walk in them. My mom did but here leg and toe were so bad That may be why I was never interested.
Anyway I love the card, the colors and the lay out. I really love the way you stamped the flowers. Very pretty.

I love your take on the sketch, and the "pumped" theme is just fun!
little grasshopper - LOL I've forgotten about those little displays of displeasure through the years, but this one really brought a smile for the memories :) Has someone been tampering with her wheaties? :)

Tracey McNeely said...

LeAnne this is such a cute and fun card, I love love love that shoe. Your added so much dimension with your layers!

Denise Marzec said...

Ahhhhhhh, yes, little girls and their tantrums....sigh! LOL at the grasshopper comment....heehee!

Really great card and pretty colors! It's been so long since I've ordered from SU....I don't have (nor have I even heard of) any of these colors.

Linda Callahan said...

You are stylin' today girl! Love the pump - and in Poppy Parade - wow factor!

Jen Mitchell said...

Your hand-made DP is so awesome! It matches the shoe perfectly! This is a great interpretation of the sketch too!

Marlene (cards4u) said...

This card is absolutely wonderful - great job with this sketch and I love your stamped DP!!

Arielle H Gordon said...

Gorgeous, as usual! Every week you amaze me! Look at Miss Cassidy! I bet she's just as stubborn as Maisie - LOL!

Sylvia said...

This is a fun, fun card, LeAnne, I loved the photo as well. I am like you, no heels, only in my dreams! I still just wear Birkenstocks! Grammy can't forget the phone, but Cassidy is still a cutie pie!

Linda Fisher said...

OMGosh, I had to look twice and read a little farther. The self made DSP is a stunner. All the self made elements are PERECT! Such a clevery made card, as always.

Unknown said...

Cassidy is so funny! She looks like she is fighting a nap & will not give in!! ;) I love this card, great stamped multicolored panel behind the shoe. And wonderful take on the sketch, I love the bracket shape you used at the top!! :) I hear you & Sylvia, I wear flip flops, clogs, and running shoes, occasionally a wedge type heel but not anything like a pump! Can you imagine me running after three boys in pumps? Or you running after Cassidy in pumps? Or Sylvia trying to make her beautiful garden in that shoe? ;) have a fabulous day!

Vickie Z said...

Wonderful use of the sketch, image, and sentiment!!! Yep, I'm a flip flop kinda girl myself, and would be taller than my DH too! My girls would be drooling over those shoes....ohhh to have young arches!!! Thanks for playing at I Spy!!

Darlene Gabriel said...

What a fun card. You rocked this colour challenge. Love that shoe and the sentiment. Sorry to have been MIA for a while here.

Vicky Hayes said...

What a wonderful card LeAnne - I love the pumped pun! I really like the hand-stamped DP you made too.

Anne Marie Hile said...

Oh. My. WORD!!! I am seriously smitten with this card! Love that stamp and the fabulous sentiments. So pretty! :)

Kim Teasdale said...

Your card is fabulous! Love that you created your own DP and who doesn't love a sassy red pump? Thanks so much for playing along with us this week over at iSpy Sketches :D
