CQC45

Isn’t this a serene scene?  So pretty!!!  Arielle’s ColourQ Challenge today is a sweet fluttering of butterflies against a white background.  The design is CAS, so I did a fairly clean card as well:

using the Things I Love set in the inspiration colors.  I added a little pearly embellishment on the chocolate, a bit of texture on the Wild Wasabi panel and some Wild Wasabi DP peeking out from behind.  The heart theme is carried into the inside:

Hmmm, maybe I should have put some glitter on that piece of chocolate…anyway, check out what the other designers on the Colour Court have come up with and show us your take on these pretty colors!  You can check out the ColourQ blog or just click on the sidebar for all the details! 

Before I go, I thought I’d share a couple of photos I took yesterday evening in my little flower garden:

A male American goldfinch:

A male ruby-throated hummingbird:

Same hummer, from the rear!!!

A grumpy female domestic shorthair cat, who thinks she is a much better “crop” than whatever I can put in this basket from my garden:

  1. I just love this color combo and I'd play along, but all I have is Wasabi and White! LOL I love all the tiny hearts, especially the one over the letter in the sentiment. TFS those great photos from your garden! You captured amazing photos of that hummingbird!

  12. I like the composition of your layout - so balanced. I like the heart in your sentiment and the rows of hearts with pearls as your accents. So cute how you colorblocked the main elements.
