Happy Tuesday, everyone! Another ColourQ day, and Arielle has a fabulous one for us…these colors just make me happy! Here ya go: There are all kinds of inspirations in this photo aren’t there? I chose to do something fairly simple, and I think this is one of my favorite cards ever! I used a little Penny Black image, stamping him on Shimmery White paper and coloring him simply with some Copics. I added a little tag, a big fat gingham ribbon and a sweet little quirky sentiment, all done on a stitched diecut panel, also of Shimmery White. Of course, I had to add a little sparkle to his hat: Isn’t he sweet? I can’t wait to see what you do with these beautiful, fresh holiday colors….share it with us at the ColourQ blog and be sure to check out what the other designers did as well! Looking forward to checking them all out! This is also for the Cue Card at CASology this week: I showed Cassidy how to make a snowman from her homemade playdoh: She was quite excited to add toothpick arms: Of course, Grampy had to get in on the fun too: Enjoy your day!

The ColourQ colors this week provided a challenge that was a refreshing change from all the Christmas colors I've been using lately. I suppose I could have made a Christmas card with these colors. And I'm sure that some of the talented participants in the challenge will have done so, but I felt like I wanted to do something different. A little help from this week's MOJO sketch and I was off! I had kind of forgotten all about Cool Caribbean but luckily I still have the inkpad so I colored the butterfly with it using my blender pens. It actually looks more vibrant in real life. I almost added a sentiment at the bottom of this card because I thought it looked a little bare, but decided I liked it the way it was. I can always add one later! Thanks for stopping by!
