Happy Tuesday—which means it’s ColourQ time! I was sweating bullets when I saw this color combo:
What in the world was I going to do with these? I already had my Father’s Day cards done, so I didn’t want to make another one. The colors had a subdued feel to me, so I opted to make a sympathy card, which although I hate having to make, are helpful to have on hand:
The card base is Bravo Burgundy with a layer of Cajun Craze; I did some shadow stamping again (I love this effect) with the images from Pocket Silhouettes, stamping them first in Basic Gray, then again in Bordering Blue on textured Whisper White. I added a little embossed border:
and a layered sentiment, anchored with silver Glimmer brads:
Using Taylor’s Sketch #140 was helpful:
Hope this whets your appetite to play along with us! Check out all the other samples at the CQC blog and share your creativity with us!

As for the sewing stamps, maybe we can give them a push to do another thread and machine one. I am sure they will move it to the Digital Studio at some point.
