Color Q #245

Hello, my sweet blog friends!  I have a card to share that I made at my friend Marsha's this afternoon, using her Stampin Up products.  This is the first time I've used Stampin' Up stamps and the coordinating punches.  I have to say it was pretty easy to stamp the flower and then punch it out with a coordinating punch.  

****I've not been happy with my photos lately.  Is it possible that the bulbs for my light tent can lose their brightness before they burn out?  I haven't changed anything on my camera or in my light tent, but my photos are looking duller.  I tried a black background as well as white.  Which do you like better?***

I love these pretty colors together, but the Pacific Point I could do without.  I always have the hardest time using darker colors like that.  It isn't in my nature to like or use the primary color family.  If you notice, I used as little of it as I could to participate in the challenge.  ;)

Here are the pretty colors that I used from The Color Q Challenge.

My friend, Marsha, that I was referring to at the beginning of the post, sells Stampin' up.  You can find her online store HERE.  I used those exact ink pad colors as stated in the Color graphic below.  The stamps set is called Flower Shop and I used the clear mount.  The fabulous embossing folder that I am in love with is called Textured Arrows.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Happy Birthday/ Colour Q

Hello everyone!  I was at the wonderful Betsy Veldman's blog and she shows you how to make these wonderful flowers.  I knew I had to make some.  I made the flower using Vellum, then spritzed it with my Glimmer Mist.

I used the color inspiration from Colour Q I think I might be posting this too late to make the deadline for the challenge. Oops! I got called into work today and didn't get to post it earlier. I litterly took the picture and ran out the door.

Hey There

Hello everyone.  How is the weather where you are?  We are getting more snow.  Again!  I have seen so many pictures on peoples blogs where they have 28 inches of snow.  Crazy!  We have not got that much but it just keeps on a coming.  All the more reason for me to make cards.  haha. 
I made a card for the sketch at JUGS and the colors from Colour Q.  These colors are so spring like.  I guess I am just ready for spring.

I love my new PTI stamps and paper.  This is the best cardstock ever.  I just wish I would have found it long ago.  Even my neighbor noticed a difference in my cards.  She said it was alot heavier.  The weight difference of PTI cardstock compared to others is unbelieveable.  I have found myself not buying as much patterned paper or embellishment since I have buying more PTI supplies.  Then I saw on Nicole's blog today that she is going to have her own felt, embossing plates, and dies.  WOW!  I can't wait.  I am just like a child wanting  new toys. 

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/Rustic Cream, Spring Rain, Vintage Cream, Ripe Avacado
Patterned paper: Cosmo Cricket/ Ever After
Stamps: PTI/ Blooming Button Bits, Big and Bold Wishes
Ink: PTI/ Raspberry Fizz, Spring Moss
Button: Basic Grey
Twine: PTI
