Happy Tuesday, happy May Day! I combined the ColourQ colors today:
with the Retro Sketches sketch 9:
for my creation this week:
One of my customers just ordered this Fashionable Hearts embosslit, and that got me thinking that it would be a good choice for these fun colors! I also used the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit and the heart Adorning Accents embossing folder! In fact, there’s a lot more embossing on here than there is stamping! The only stamping is the sentiment from Trendy Trees and the heart from Itty Bitty Bits. Some Early Espresso baker’s twine “ties” it all together, and a little Sharpie-colored rhinestone adds a little bling:
The ColourQ courtiers have such a fun bunch of samples, you need to check them all out at the ColourQ blog! I hope you’ll play along with us too! Can’t wait to see what you create!
Cassidy cornered Grampy sitting in the doorway while she was showing him some of her new toys…..the opportunity was just too inviting, so she got a book and said “sit” and she sat in his lap!
Thanks for visiting today!
You ROCKED this sketch with your FANTASTIC layered hearts LeAnne!!! The tiny heart embossed border is the perfect addition! So glad you played RetroSketches this week!
ReplyDeleteTotally love these embossed hearts, LeAnne! And Grampy doesn't look like he's suffering too much after being "cornered"!

ReplyDeleteThose layered hearts are fabulous! I just love the tiny gem on one, and all of the embossing adds such incredible texture.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your assorted embossed hearts! You really nailed the sketch!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome card, LeAnne! I love the three colors/varying sizes of the hearts. The texture is really what makes this card pop for me, and I love the little hearts textured border too! Thanks for popping by my blog:)
