ColourQ #305 and Exciting News




If you are looking for my CASology post, please click here.  If you are looking for my PTI Blog Hop post, please click here.

I have some very exciting news, although if you saw this post at ColourQ announcing the winners of their 300th challenge, this news will not be a surprise to you.  My news???  I have been invited to join the ColourQ design team.  Here is a picture of my winning card.


ColourQ is one of my very favorite challenges to play in--Arielle always has such amazing photos and beautiful color combinations to inspire us.  I am very happy to be joining this talented group of crafters.

Take a look at this week's colors--I have been loving my WPlus9 and Hero Arts inks lately, so I used these colors for my card this week:  HA Passion Flower and WPlus9 Ocean Drive, Pumpkin Spice, and Falling Star.  Feel free to use whatever brand of inks you have--just try to match the colors as best as you can.

I pulled out a set that I had given up on--Avery Elle Balloons--because I could never get a good impression from those balloons.  I decided to try stamping with my new Misti--and I was able to stamp each balloon several times in order to finally get really solid balloons.  



Please head over to the ColourQ blog to see more inspiration from the other members of the ColourQ Royal Court design team.  I hope that you will play along at ColourQ this week.


Thanks for Visiting

  20. Congratulations on joining the team and wow, wow and wow...your winning and debut cards are show-stopping delights! Your balloons are so pretty and yes indeed, the Misti certainly has given them that extra 'ink-oomph! Right now, I'm have a grump over my inks not cooperating; they're being splotty! May have to try the WPlus9 at some point!
    Hugs~c
