Morning, friends!
How did it get to be March already? Seriously, if we could just get rid of our piles of snow, I might actually believe spring is on its way!
Not only is today the beginning of a new month, but it's time for a new ColourQ challenge! And I totally cheated on this one. Maybe it's the afore-mentioned blanket of snow outside that influenced me to use mostly white. Check out this week's colors:
Last week was one of those crazy, out-of-my-routine kind of weeks that left me feeling the need to make a very clean and simple card. So that's what I did. An embossed white background, a simple focal panel stamped a few times with a star from SU!'s Itty Bitty Bits, and a sentiment from PTI's Tag-its #1.
Originally this card was white on white, without the Espresso mat behind the main panel. I showed it to my dear hubby, who pronounced it "boring". Hmmm. Back to the table in a moment of second guessing, I added the brown mat. The verdict? I think it looked better without, but I still like this version and think it will be great for one of the guys in my life.
Just not my hubby. LOL.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white), Stampin' Up! (Early Espresso)
Stamps: Stampin' Up! (Itty Bitty Bits), Papertrey Ink (Tag-its #1)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Tangerine Tango, Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso), Clearsnap (Cape Cod)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Diamonds impression plate), Martha Stewart (Scoring board), Inkadinkadoo (Stamp-a-ma-jig), We R Memory Keepers (Corner Chomper)
The rest of the Royal Court DT have some fabulous creations to share that are definitely not boring! Make sure you leave them some love.
I can't wait to see your take on the challenge! Thanks for stopping by today!

Awesome card Christina! Love the CAS design!
LOVE the CAS Christina! This isn't cheating - it's 'judicious use of design' :0) The texture is beautiful and I can really see this working for a guy card ... and I never ask my DH for card advice. We don't see the art world in the same way! LOL!
OK friend! This card is going to my favorites for sure! I love this! The layers, the IP detail, the little pops of color! Fantastic!
I think I would give it to my hubby ... on principle. So ... he has to say something nice about it! :) Yes ... you cheated ... but you have no idea how encouraging that was for us "wanna bees"!!! Hugs xxaxx
