By the Tide for Colour Me...!

It's monochromatic week over at Colour Me...! and I have made a scattered little birthday card

I always have fun with monochromatic week - when you're playing with only 1 colour, you tend to go crazy on the rest of the elements ;)

Check out the challenge this week, and be sure to stop by and see the fab creations by the rest of the Design Team (and meet our Featured Designer for October!)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Perfect Peacock for Colour Me...!

Well, can you believe it? It's been 6 months since Hayley and I launched Colour Me...! 6 months!! It's so bitter sweet... We have been blessed with such a wonderful inaugural team, and we love each of them and their unique style. We knew this day would come, but it's so difficult to say goodbye!

On the flip side, we have another wicked-awesome team to inspire you each week! You'll be meeting them soon enough, so stay tuned :)

For our last challenge with the fab Design Team #1, we have a playful 4-colour combo.

I made this card for my sister-in-law's birthday this past week. I had SO much fun colouring the Perfect Peacock with the new Blendabilities... Turns out, I'm addicted to them. Hardcore.

To spice it up a bit, I used some Dazzling Diamonds here and there. It has such a pretty, sparkly look in person (doesn't come out quite the same in the photo though).

Check out the challenge this week, and please stop by the blog and leave our friends some love!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Colour Me... Subtle!

Good morning! This week at Colour Me...! we are working with 3 soft colours for our subtle week; Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky & Pistachio Pudding.

Lately I've been avoiding the 'coloured' cardbase and background. I don't think it was intentional, but when this card was done, it had occurred to me that it was the case!

It had been way too long since I had used the awesome Paper Doilies that I knew I just had to whip one out... That, and I came across a rogue doily when cleaning up my scraps. Call it fate :)

The background is embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and raised on the cardbase with Dimensionals. I then cut out a bunch of flowers with the Floral Fusion Sizzlit. I sponged all those bad boys lightly around the edges with Soft Sky and popped a little Soft Sky Candy Dot in there in the centre. The leaves were cut out of Pistachio Pudding using the Little Leaves Sizzlit (one of my favourites!)
