ColourQ68 & FTL123

DSCF6224

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  Another ColourQ challenge coming your way!  What do you think of these colors:

Unfortunately, I am not too good at using floral images on my cards, so I went with something a little more abstract today!  I used the Fall to Layout#123:

FTL123

to make a get-well card for a young lady in our congregation who had to have emergency appendectomy surgery this week!

Pretty straightforward; I used the Beautiful Wings embosslit for my butterflies and mounted them on a square of Confetti White that was run through the Square Lattice EF.  The words are from PTI’s Autumn Abundance…that set has such nice sentiments!  A little stitching, gathered ribbon, some bling…..I hope it brings a smile to her face!

How about bringing a smile to our faces and playing with the Colour Courtiers this week?  Hop on over to the CQC blog and show us your creative side using these colors!

Really? DO ALL your cards have to be perfectly gorgeous? Come on LeAnne, make a stinky card to show us just once so we'll know you're human - lol! I think this card is just the PERFECT example of this week's challenge colors - I love it!

She can't be 5 months old already, well, I guess she can. She is adorable LeAnne. And, your card is beautiful too, as usual.
