Happy Saturday! I have been stamping off and on all day...my room is a mess! Among other cards, I decided to make a card for The ColourQ ...a challenge I have not done for a while. This week it features some bright colors (tangerine tango, wild wasabi, tempting turquoise) with black & white. Initially when I saw the colors, I intended to make a birthday card for my brother-in-law. Well, apparently I forgot all about that! LOL! Instead I came up with this card... (all products are Stampin' Up...most are current):
The card base is hard to see with my black curtain in the background, but it is basic black. I added some polka dot dsp in turquoise (a retired piece) and tangerine from the Brights Pattern Paper Stack. I ran a piece of whisper white through the Big Shot with my top note die. Using my markers, I colored this image from Thoughts and Prayers. I stamped a sentiment from the same set in basic black, then punched it out with the decorative label punch. I added a bit of coordinating dsp and a little sponging to highlight the sentiment layer. The wild wasabi ribbon is retired, but I never get rid of ribbon!!
Well, I like how this looks...but I still need to make a card for Chris. Guess I'll try that tomorrow...it's getting late!

ReplyDeleteVery nicely done.....I rarely use markers on my stamps, I am too impatient, but this is so pretty, I should tame my impatience and just do it! Thanks for playing with the CQC this week!
