ColourQ 201

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  Arielle has a lovely color block inspiration photo today:

I should call this post the five-minute card vs. the five-hour card.  I made two cards using these colors, and one came together quickly, the other….well, I just couldn’t decide what to do with it!  Anyway, here’s the five-minute (well, it took a little longer than that!) card; I needed a sympathy card for a church friend and the colors seemed appropriate:

Since the apron in the inspiration photo has graphic lines, I chose a similar style of pattern, merely embossing the different panels and adding a sentiment from Blessings from Heaven.  Although it’s difficult to see, the Soft Sky panel is embossed with the Stripes EF.  The pearls and butterfly add a little softness.

The other card uses a couple retired SU sets and a computer-generated sentiment:

I stamped the images second-generation, then cut them out and popped them up on a panels stamped in matching inks with the background stamp from French Foliage.  Pretty self-explanatory:

So…how does this color palette inspire you?  I can’t wait to see what you come up with!  Share it at the ColourQ blog and see what everyone else has created as well!
