Hello! I'm blogging from the road today, so I haven't had a chance to come around and see what you've been up to, but I'm popping in with the latest ColourQ challenge. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this gorgeous color combo! I also decided to play along with the sketch at The Paper Players by my friend, Nance.
My photos are not great since I waited too long to take them and had to do some major color correction! I stamped some leaves from Verve's Bloom & Grow, then added a sentiment from the same set in gray ink. The flowers were stamped in Versamark onto Bashful Blue cardstock, then cut out by hand. I cut slits between each petal so that I could bend some of them up for dimension.
The Tempting Turquoise mat was die cut on one end with a Labels 1 Nestie, then impressed with text from PTI's Book Print impression plate. I added a strip of white satin ribbon tied with Caribbean baker's twine from The Twinery. The whole panel was then adhered with pop dots onto a Basic Gray card base.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Basic Gray, Tempting Turquoise, Bashful Blue), Papertrey Ink (white)
Stamps: Verve (Bloom & Grow)
Ink: Clearsnap (Moss Green, Antique Pewter), Versamark
Tools: Spellbinders (Labels 1), Papertrey Ink (Book Print impression plate)
Accessories: The Twinery (baker's twine), Michaels (ribbon, rhinestones)
I hope you'll find some time this week to play with these colors and enter your creation to be in the running for Colour Queen! Stop by the ColourQ blog for some fabulous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.
Thanks so much for all of your sweet comments recently--you gals are the best!

Christina, I love the flowers with the gem centers and how you tied the twine to the ribbon - which made me look twice at the die cut on the bottom of the card. Really lovely! All your cards have that extra little touch!
