Another week has
passed and time for another ColourQ Challenge.
I love the colors for the CQC173 Challenge- they are soft and a bit on the pastel side so
while I had them out, I decided to make three cards using these fabulous colors plus for the first card I used the FMS70 Freshly Made Sketch. Again, both sites have wonderful examples –
if you have a chance, check them out!!
All three cards
incorporate embossing, die cuts and a little bit of stamping (plus I was able
to use scraps from the first card to create the second and third).
To create the first CAS card with the FMS70Sketch:
Ink the interior
of the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder with Dusty Durango
Classic Ink. Emboss a piece of Apricot
Appeal, Crumb Cake, Blush Blossom and a small piece of Very Vanilla cardstock (in that order- the more you emboss
the lighter the ink will appear on the background).
Layer the Blush
Blossom embossed panel onto Dusty Durango cardstock. Layer a small piece of Apricot Appeal onto
Dusty Durango and a larger piece of Crumb Cake onto Dusty Durango as well for
the vertical piece of the sketch. Add
the ½” Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon along with the Pearls.
Ink the Paisley
Background stamp using Dusty Durango Classic Ink and stamp this image onto
Blush Blossom cardstock. Cut the flower
using the Blossom Punch from the stamped piece of Blush Blossom and another
flower from Dusty Durango cardstock. Cut
the Dusty Durango flower into pieces (each petal towards the center) and mount
the Dusty Durango behind the flower petals of the stamped flower.
Using the 1 ¼”
Scallop Circle Punch to cut out the flower center from the embossed Very
Vanilla cardstock. Add the Antique Brad
to complete the flower.
Use the Bird
Builder Punch to punch out the leaves from Dusty Durango cardstock. Add the stamped sentiment with the lace from
the Artisan Embellishment Kit and leaves to finish off the card.

To create the second
card:
Use the Blossom Punch
to punch out a flower from the embossed
Apricot Appeal (scrap from the first
card). Using the medallion circle stamp from Madison Avenue, stamp using Dusty
Durango onto Blush Blossom cardstock and punch out using the 1 ¼” Circle Punch.
Punch out another circle using the 1 3/8” Dusty Durango cardstock, layer and
add the Antique Brad in the center.
With the Big Shot™
and the Lacy Brocade Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder, emboss the die cut that the lace was wrapped around
in the Artisan Embellishments Kit (love being able to re-purpose items:-)). Also emboss a piece of Blush Blossom with the
Square Lattice EF and a piece of Apricot Appeal Designer Series Paper (DSP)
with the Fancy Fan EF.
Add the 5/8” Satin
Ribbon to the embossed layer of Blush Blossom.
Also add the ribbon to the tag along with pieces of the 18” Scalloped Lace from the Artisan Embellishments kit. Stamp the Tiny Tag sentiment and background,
punch out with the Jewelry Tag Punch and attach to the tag using a Vintage
Trinket pin.
Layer all of the
embossed panels onto the Blush Blossom card front, add the tag and flower to
finish off the card. I need to order
some more Pearls to add a few strands of the pearl ropes- what do you think- would pearls make a difference?

To create the third
card:
With the Big Shot™
and the Lacy Brocade Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder, emboss a piece of Crumb Cake and Dusty Durango cardstock
and a piece of retired Apricot Appeal DSP.
Also emboss a piece of Blush Blossom with the Needlepoint Border EF and
a piece of Very Vanilla using the Delicate Designs (Lace) EF.
Layer the embossed
Dusty Durango cardstock, Blush Blossom embossed panel and Very Vanilla embossed
lace panel. Add the embossed Apricot
Appeal DSP layer and add two circles from the Crumb Cake embossed cardstock (using
the 2 ½ Circle Punch and layered to form a modified oval).
Stamp the bee
image using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and color
using the Blush Blossom, Apricot Appeal and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write markers,
lightly sponge Crumb Cake ink along the edges.
Cut the stamped image
out using the Big Shot™ and the Apothecary Accents Framelits™ die, cutting a
second die cut for layering from Dusty Durango cardstock. Once layered with the Dusty Durango (cut the
die cut in half lengthwise to layer), add the Antique Brads, 18” Scalloped Lace
from the Artisans Embellishments Kit and center to adhere to the Crumb Cake
circle panel.
Add the stamped
sentiment, 5/8 “Satin Ribbon bow and pearls to finish off the card.

Have a wonderful
