CQ#104 and a couple of cards to share

Colour Q are celebrating their second birthday with a challenge to CASE a previous Colour Queen's card using this weeks palette... and this is another one for the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Simon Says Stamp :)

I had a good rummage through the past winners and found this card for CQ callenge#38, that appealed to me so I decided to use my Cricut to cut these lovely leaves from the storybook cartridge and then use Nesties to cut out the negative frames

TIP: Choose a bold uncomplicated shape for this type of design ....... this was my second choice of image as the first was too intricate and drove me stir crazy trying to piece the negative back together again!!


I also want to share a couple of cards I've received recently from some wonderful blog buddies, this first is from Lynn @ The Mango Boys and Me and it came in with the blog candy I won recently. I love the narrow veneer strip the the acorns are stamped on and that touch of misting is just perfect :)

and finally this card is from Vicky @ Crafting Clare's Paper Moments. Vicky has used some of the new Stampin Up products and they look so elegant, love the little pearls on the cameo :)

I managed a little bit of crafting yesterday on World Card Making Day but with the impromptu heatwave we are having at the moment, things got a little uncomfortable in the craft space, call me a killjoy but I'd like the normal Autumnal weather to return!

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the sunny weekend X
