A Fusion of Colour

Evening folks!

Hope your week has started well! We've been deluged in NSW with a heap of rain, much to my Mum's dismay.  I've had to remind her that we do actually get rain in Australia - unfortunately it does seem to coincide with family visiting from the UK every single time.

Not to worry though - this weeks colours for the latest Colour Q challenge will warm you up if it's cool in your part of the world....that flowery quilt absolutely screams Summer to me:

I have to admit,  I found this one a little tricky.  I had nothing that even vaguely resembled River Rock in my stash,  until I unearthed a teeny, tiny scrap of old MME paper which I thought I could get away with.  I used the sketch over at Fusion for this one but I do feel as though something is missing - it just looks a little bare to me. Let me know if you can tell me what it is!

Check out the rest of the DT's beautiful stuff for some more inspiration - hope you find the time to join in this week.

Thanks for popping by,

Colour Q #229

Evening folks!

So are you ready for another Colour Q challenge? Did you manage to get crafty using last week's bright and breezy colour palette? This week we've gone for it's complete opposite:

It screamed flowers and more flowers to me so I inked up those Fresh Cut Florals again from W Plus 9. The little leafy border is from a really old Sassafrass Lass set...I think the two sets compliment each other perfectly!  Don't worry if you haven't got the exact colours in your ink/paper collection - the nearest I have to Summer Starfruit is Memento's Pear Tart but it still fits the colour palette.

Hope you get the chance to join in this week...happy stamping!

Lots of Layers

Morning all,

Hope you're enjoying the weekend - despite being in the middle of Winter here in Sydney, the weather is absolutely beautiful...blue skies and sunny days...what could be better?

Love the sketch by Narelle over at Freshly Made this week - lots of layers and just my style:

A mix of the old with the new for this one - I layered some flowers from Stampin' Up's Eastern Blooms, together with some embossed vellum Sassafrass Lass stems and Waltzingmouse leaves.  It's definitely a sketch I'll be using again.

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping,
