I was blog hopping and came across the latest ColourQ challenge, and totally fell in love with the colours. Since my mojo has gone missing after 9 days straight of sick kids (Em has the bug now…) I decided to combine it with the latest Just Add Ink sketch challenge.
See those gorgeous colours??? They make me think of summer, it’s a distant memory in my brain but I cannot wait to see it again! AND, they match my new blog colours! I hope to pair these colours up with a couple of sketch challenges I came across today, but since the Just Add Ink challenge ends tonight, I chose to use that first.
I had to change the challenge as I don’t have any Bermuda Bay ink or cardstock, so I’ve swapped it for Tempting Turquoise. There are a couple of new ink colours on this card, can you see them?
Stamps: Extreme Elements, Extreme Guitar
Ink: Soft Suede, Tempting Turquoise, Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo
Paper: Confetti White, Soft Suede, Whisper White, Island Indigo, Hoppy Memories (from a retired Simply Scrappin’ Kit)
Other: Mat Pack, Tempting Turquoise buttons, Linen Thread, Crumb Cake Marker, Timeless Type Junior Sizzlit Alphabet.
Thanks for visiting!
