Happy Fourth of July everyone. It seems as though it is warm and sunny everywhere except where I live today. We had a bit of drizzle this morning, and now it is overcast and a bit chilly. Perfect weather for hitting a movie and crafting, but not what I expected for July Fourth in Southern California.
I used Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Spring Rain and Enchanted Evening in my first card for this week's ColourQ #144 challenge. I used one of the images in my new Lawn Fawn Belinda's Borders set to create my tiny chevron pattern. I would also like to thank the kind judges from ColourQ for selecting this card last week as a ColourQ Courtier.

This next card is for this week's Make it Monday #73: Stamping on Patterned Paper. I stamped a variety of images from some of the different Flower Fusion sets in Kraft, Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, and Ripe Avocado onto one of the sheets from Father Knows Best.

Here is a close-up, which shows the patterned paper better.
I will be sending these cards off St. Luke's, as their challenge this month is cards for teenagers, and my 14 year old assured me that these cards are cool enough for any teen.
