ColorQ 70




This is the card I created for this week's Color Q challenge. Even though the apron gives a sense of clean, bright and modern, I decided to go with darker colors and a bit of distressing.  I am in a flower mood these days so I tried some new flowers to adorn the greeting. The Full of Life stamp set is one of those that I continually reach for. The greeting shown on the card also makes the perfect interior stamp for a birthday card.


Paper - DSP Basic Grey Curio, early espresso and very vanilla cardstock
Ink - Early espresso
Stamps - Full of Life
Accessories - Flower punches, Victoria crochet trim, dimensionals
