Colour Q 96

I love surfing through the various challenges on the net, and ColourQ is a great one.  There are a LOT of challenges to choose from, as well as a weekly one that you can enter.  This is from a past challenge, but I loved the combo right away.  I think I'll try it out a few more times to see what I can come up with.

I have been neglecting this set for quite some time now and decided I needed to pull it out again.  It's really quite beautiful, so I don't know why it made it to the bottom of the pile.  But, here it is.  I saw a card with this image stamped on First Edition DSP, so I can't claim that was my idea, but it was lacking something.  That something turned out to be this colour scheme!  Bashful Blue is a lovely, gentle hue, but I don't ever really let it function that way.  Poppy Parade is my favourite partner for this shade, but I think that Lucky Limeade might start making an appearance with it as well.

Pennant Crazy

I went a little crazy this afternoon.  Punch crazy.  I wanted to make some cheery cards using the brights collection, so I grabbed my stack of patterned DSP and punched away.  I ended up with a pile of pennants covering my desk, and here's what happened.  I ended up with 12 cards on some variation of this template.  Fun.  Fun.  Fun.  This makes me want cake and ice cream - and a party hat.
