Make It Monday and ColourQ #193



by Nichole




Hi! I guess I haven't posted in a few days, life is busy, and then darn colds! Before I made this card for MIM I saw the new colors for ColourQ and decided to make a card for both. Not much thinking outside the box on this one , but I do like it, and think it could be a great guy card too! I didn't add sequins (this time) but couldn't resist adding some random stars, I liked it blank too .

Let not your heart be troubled!

Lil Inkers stitched frames
and Papertrey Ink cardstock

  1. Colds are NO fun, hope everyone is feeling better in your house. This is super duper Marybeth. Great job getting this together for both challenges! I like the addition of the stars, it ties back to the little one in the sentiment!!

  19. Oh my goodness. I purchased the Watercolor Wonder set because it looked so fun, but I haven't been inspired at all to use it yet! But your card totally inspires me. To me, I think it is one of the best uses of this set that I've seen. Brilliant. ;-)

  24. Beautiful colors! Love the way, when layered the two colors make another color. This stamp is just perfect for this!
