I think that this must be my week of color challenges. I had some time to craft, and the colors of my favorite color challenges were especially appealing.
I really loved this week's ColourQ colors, and decided to make another card using them. I really loved the layout of this card by one of the ColourQ designers, and used that as the starting point of my card. I used Distressed stripes in Amuse Slate, Versacolor Turquoise, and PTI Simply Chartreuse and Winter Wisteria ink. It's a bit hard to tell, but I impressed both of my front panels with the Canvas/Linen Impression Plate.

My next card is for this week's Play Date Cafe PDCC132, black, white and a splash of mustard yellow. I used PTI Summer Sunrise for my yellow. It's a bit hard to see in this photo, but the white panel is raised with dimensionals. I colored bits of the image with Copic YR15.

You're on a roll with the color challenges! That first card is really great, I love that strip for the colors, and they look like a Mexican blanket to me! The second card is really pretty, love that houndstooth on the side :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Joyce! Love that first card, especially:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, Joyce! I love the stamped lines in the first card-- what a great colour combination! And I love how you used Stitches and Swirls on the second card-- very pretty!
ReplyDeleteTwo very pretty cards. Love tthe placement of the sentiment on the first card.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just to adorable, love the colors too but the graduation card is so stunning with the inset of your stripes, just so clever!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing wonders with this weeks colours, aren't they just awesome? Love these fantastic cards, the distressed stripes on your first card are so fun. Great designs.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards Joyce! I adore all the colorful stripes on the congrats card. So eye-catching! The highlighting on the flowers of the second card is a great touch. The perfect way to add a splash of color.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Joyce! So glad you joined us this week at the ColourQ!!
ReplyDeleteYour cards have such different looks, but create clean and simple designs. The first one looks super with all of the stripes and the second one is so effective with the black and white and a touch of colour. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteNow I know why you were looking for that houndstooth! These are really great cards, love the first one and the distressed stripes. They really look great in the challenge colors. I especially like the second one with the stitches and the way you outlined some of them with the copic. That totally made the card for me!
ReplyDeleteJoyce - Two great cards. I love the clean graphic look of the first one - the stripes of color really pop - and they remind me of the ocean (perfect for cards by the sea!!) and the second one is stunning with the yellow houndstooth and the pop of yellow on the flowers. Perfect for the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards. Great job on both of the challenges. I love the stripes and the layout you used. Thank you for sharing this with us at the ColourQ.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are fabulous, Joyce! The CAS design on the first one is wonderful. Love your layout and the gorgeous colors! I really like the touches of color you added on the flowers and the houndstooth is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Joyce, that colored insert is brilliant! Thanks for sharing your card with us this week at the ColourQ!

ReplyDeleteJoyce, so glad you joined us in the Cafe! Your "splash" card is perfect... I love the addition of yellow to the floral centers. Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting ColourQ Coutier with this gorgeous card, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these Joyce, especially the ColourQ design. Congrats on being selected as a ColourQ Courtier. I just love the way you did the stripes and set that gorgeous panel in all of that white space. I love the second one too. Great idea to add your splash with Copics. You've inspired me to get that stitched set out and use it.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! Congratulations Joyce, I am not surprised at all, your entries were all fantastic. I really loved the inverted dimension you added to this one.
ReplyDeleteJoyce...congratulations on your fabulous card being selected as a ColourQ Coutier, I knew it was a special card once I saw it, how exciting for you.
