How's your week going? It's a busy one for me - kids holidays and lots of work so not much time to get crafty. Luckily I was organised and managed to make a couple of cards for today's Waltzingmouse Pyjama Party. I made them before we had the new Colour Q palette and one of them happened to be the very colours that Arielle picked...how lucky was that?
So here are the colours:
And here's the card:
The first card is for the Bedtime Story Sketch. It's been ages since I inked up WMS Funky Feathers and I thought it would be a perfect fit for this gorgeous, layered sketch. I inked the feathers in three different colours and then fussy cut them. I had a new 6x6 pad of Authentique patterned papers so used those for the rest of the card.
The next WMS challenge was to use an older WMS set from their Nestability compatible range. I had a few to choose from but ended up with Opera Tags. I used a couple of other sets too - Ocean Bound, which is one of my absolute favourite masculine sets and the houndstooth from Heirloom Patterns:
I used some distress inks to create the background for the tag, then stamped the anchor and sentiment. I stamped the houndstooth onto some kraft card stock and clear embossed it. The wave has been cut using my Silhouette.
Make sure you check out the rest of the DT's creations at Colour Q won't you...and at Waltzingmouse too. They are an extremely talented bunch of ladies!
Thanks for popping by,
