colourQ challenge #145...

Happy Sunday everyone!  Just of few quick minutes to post the ColourQ challenge card I made.  I love the colors this week.  All I could think was sunflowers when I saw it.

 I started with a white card base that I antiqued with tea dye duos.  Then I ran the craft card stock through my cuttlebug with an inked up wood grain impression plate.  I was very happy with the effect.

The sunflowers took some double stamping.  I tried to use light and dark ink separately but the light barely showed up.  I opted to stamp the dark on top of the light and was pleased with the outcome.

 The frame was made from a chocolate chip card stock and backed with a rustic cream.  I saw the twine idea on Nicole Heady's blog this week and knew I would have to case it.

The butterfly was cut from a die out of patterned paper.  I like the little punch of eucalyptus that it brings to the card.  It pulls the sentiment to the eye.

One-Layer Wednesday

So, I saw a One-Layer Wednesday (OWL) circle challenge and thought I would give it a try.  I always admire clean and simple cards but never have an mojo when I try to make them.  It seems like it should be easy with only one layer but man is it hard!

After a few mishaps, this was the final product.  I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and played along.
