Good morning, friends! It's time again for a new ColourQ challenge! Check out these positively "sweet" hues:
If you're still working on Valentine's projects, these colors would be perfect. But they're also great for a birthday or any other celebration, which is why I've used them on a "Happy for you" card.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've succumbed to the banner trend! First I cut strips of Poppy Parade, Regal Rose, and Peach Parfait using PTI's double ended banner die, then heat embossed the letters in white using the Fresh Alphabet set.
I stamped the largest image from Dot Spot in Peach Parfait, then stamped part of a sentiment from Think Big Favorites #4 on a banner and popped it up on foam dots. The banner was temporarily adhered to the card base and stitched in place.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Poppy Parade, Regal Rose, Peach Parfait), Papertrey Ink (White)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Dot Spot, Fresh Alphabet, Think Big Favorites #4)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Peach Parfait), Clearsnap (Scarlet), Tsukineko (Versamark)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Double Ended Banner die)
Accessories: Filigree (white embossing powder), Me & My Big Ideas (rhinestones), thread
Just a fun little card to have on hand in case I need to congratulate someone!
I hope you'll check out the rest of the Design Team samples and link up your creation at the ColourQ blog.
Thanks for stopping by today!
