ColourQ Birthday Cards

I started playing with this week's ColourQ colors, and found them to be such fun.  I made a trio of birthday cards with these colors.  As I am on a bit of a casing-kick, each of my cards was inspired by another talented crafter.

This first card was inspired by one of Maile's cards during this month's release festivities.

Celebrate

I loved the layout of Deanna's card this week, and decided to use that for this next card.

Hexagon Birthday

Finally, I spotted a sweet owl card the other day at Wading in Creativity, and decided to make a similar card using Wise Owl.

Birthday Cards

I have two birthday cards this morning, and I am entering them both into this weeks CAS-ual Friday's CFC51 Happy Birthday challenge.  A big congratulations to CAS-ual Fridays for turning 1 this week.  I hope someone will put you in a high chair with a great big cake on your tray (ha ha).  I have certainly enjoyed these challenges over the past year--they are some of my favorites, and I am amazed every week at the variety and creativity of the challenges.

My first card was inspired by this card by Nicole Heady and this week's color story at ColourQ CQC#135. I interpreted these colors as Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy, Harvest Gold and Aqua Mist.  I made my first card ever with PTI's Wise Owl stamp set, and I have to say that this guy is just so fun to put together.  A huge thank you to my friend Rose from Rose Stamps who sent me her Wise Owl and Wise Owl Bellies set.  She saw that I was looking for these sets, and sent me hers, as a thank you for the times I have been her shipping buddy.  Rose, I promise to give these owls lots and lots of love.  Speaking of owl love, this card was originally intended for my nephew.  When my daughter saw it, she nabbed it for her friend's birthday party this weekend, and told me to make something else for her cousin.

Owl Birthday

I was in need of another birthday card for my nephew, after this Owl card was swiped.  I turned to this gorgeous combination of colors from this week's Make it Monday MIM #64:  Using Color Inspiration.

I loved the idea of making a banner with those little pieces from Tag Sale #6 that I saw here on Danielle Flander's blog.
