colourQ challenge #140

As usual the color combination for this week's colourQ challenge was gorgeous. Colors totally say summer to me so I wanted to make a card that was bright and happy.



To bring some texture to the background of PTI Pure Poppy cardstock, I embossed it using the new PTI Simple Stripes impression plate. Its a bit hard to see in the photo. I stamped flowers from PTI Flower Fusion #12 in Pure Poppy and VersaMagic Ocean Depth with Momento Summer Sky for the centers. I used the PTI double ended banner die in Simply Chartreuse with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Heart-2-Heart #2. Finished off with a bit of twine. Perfect for my friend's birthday this month.



Thanks again for stopping by!

  4. Very fun take on the challenge. I used that same flower fusion for dynamic duos and retro sketches this week. I think we've got the same stamps sets out this week!

  5. this is absolutely adorable! I have that FF set and haven't made anything near as cute with it - i love the colors and the bit of twine to tie it all together. On a separate note - i see you're a Jersey Girl - me too! transplanted to NoVa now.
