CQC89 & TESC140

DSCF8058

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:

CQC89-LeAnne

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!

Hi LeAnne,
I love your card and your granddaughter is so precious. thanks again for the card!

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.
