ColourQ 157

Happy Tuesday!  Since it’s the first Tuesday in October,  Arielle has chosen a special ColourQ palette for Breast Cancer month!  Check this out:

What a gorgeous shirt!!!  I had so many ideas swirling in my head…where to start?  I pulled out a past Sell-a-bration set called Fresh Vintage to make my  4 1/4” square card:

This also follows the sketch from CPS285:

which helped me in my choice of stamp set, because I knew those pretty postage stamp images would be perfect for this layout!  I also did some stamping on my embossed butterfly and added some black rhinestones:

I added a sentiment from Fabulous Phrases, then ran the stamped panel through my Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder for this pretty effect.  I sure hope you’ll play along with this special ColourQ challenge this week!  The other ColourQ courtiers have come up with some fun, special creations as well, so be sure to check them out at the ColourQ blog!

My friend and downline Laura sells these GORGEOUS mums….even Cassidy was impressed!

Happy Tuesday! Happy ColourQ day! Here’s the palette we have to work with today:

I had done a Halloween project using these spooky colors, but I changed my mind and ending up making a baby card!!! Here you go:

It felt a bit odd using black ribbon on a baby card, but I think the contrast was nice! I did some paper-piercing of my little chicks, and the embossed polka dots and buttons echoed the design of the DP.

I used this week’s Card Positioning System sketch as well:

And here’s a peek at the inside:

Thanks for visiting! I hope you will play along with these fun colors---a great chance to finish up those last-minute Halloween cards! Be sure to visit the CQC blog to see what the others came up with using these colors, and share your creation with us as well!

Pumpkin is getting a little more used to Cassidy as she learns to be “gentle”:

And even tries to “kiss” her:

Oops….Pumpkin is not quite ready for that—she’s gone!
