Another card for ColourQ #201

It seems that when I am doing these color challenges, I always end up making more than one card if I love that particular color combination. After I make my first card, I often find myself continuing to think of all the wonderful possibilities with those colors that I need to make another. Does that happen to you?

I am really loving the color combination at ColourQ so I made another card using one of my new favorite sets Round Repeats. This set is perfect - graphical, elegant, and so versatile. I love this resulting card though it took me many tries to get the sentiment straight (a different one than this) so I had lots of practice creating these medallions.

Hope you like it too. Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

ColourQ #201

Its hard to believe that the summer is almost over and my girls will be out of camp soon and then we're headed out of town to visit family. That means less craft time for me so I'm trying to get in as much creating as I can.

This birthday card was inspired by this week's ColourQ challenge. I love this color combo and wanted to create something that clustered all the colors together. I created a mask of the '40' and stamped various types of flowers in these pretty colors. Voila! A gorgeous floral 40 perfect for one of my friends. Think I'll definitely try this masking technique again.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Summer Means Ice Cream

I don't know about you but we pretty much eat ice cream or some type of frozen cold dessert every day in the summer. Whether its a fruity popsicle, an ice cream sandwich, or my ultimate ice cream truck favorite - the Choco Taco - its our favorite way to cool off and end a long summer afternoon.

So ice cream was foremost of my mind when I saw this week's CAS-ology cue card 'DESSERT'. Pair that with the summery bright colors at Dynamic Duos this week and the simple sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch and I came up with this -

Does ice cream top your favorite dessert list?
