Good morning! It's another gloomy day here in the Northeast, but I have a cheery card to share for this week's ColourQ challenge! This week I'm also playing along with the Just Us Girls sketch challenge for the first time. Here's the inspiration:
As you can see, I rotated the sketch to put the focal element in the bottom left corner. I also had to substitute PTI's Hawaiian Shores for SU's Bermuda Bay.
I debossed the top part of the Hawaiian Shores cardstock with the Woodgrain impression plate, leaving just a strip below the ribbon to stamp a sentiment, from PTI's Mat Stack 1 Collection.
The flower and leaves were die cut, then stamped in white with PTI's Delightful Dahlia. I added some shading with matching Copics to give them a little bit of depth.
The finishing touch is a trio of black rhinestones, to highlight the sentiment and add interest to the top corner.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Melon Mambo, Old Olive), Papertrey Ink (Hawaiian Shores, True Black, white)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Delightful Dahlia, Mat Stack 1 Collection)
Ink: Clearsnap (Frost White), Inkadinkadoo (Black), Copics RV13 & YG93
Tools: Papertrey Ink (dahlia & leaf dies, Woodgrain impression plate), Spellbinders (circle & scalloped circle dies)
Accessories: Michaels (ribbon, rhinestones)
I hope you'll play along with us this week at the ColourQ! Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT samples, too.
Thanks for spending a bit of your day with me, friends! Have a great one!

I need to take lessons from you on color and design-do you teach any classes in Wisconsin?.... Beautiful card!
That most certainly IS a bright and cheery card on this gloomy day...wow I so love it! I also love how you used the copics for the shading by the white, I wouldn't have thought to do it, but it really gives it that extra oomph!
