Good Morning Lovely Crafters… Its Sunday and the sun in sunday is not too be seen today, but still set for a lovely day with the family for a roast (mmmmm cant beat mummys roast!!) and seeing my lil niece Amelia for snuggles. Thougt id share with you today the card i made for the Colour Q challenge 154.

To start with i want to sure on the colours… but after laying them together and having a play around with some stamps, I was soon convinced at how lovely they can look… take a look at my card:

Ive used the ‘rock n roll’ technique on the flower to create a light flower with the darker egdes, i was really pleased with how it turned out! heres a closer look:

I felt the backgraound looked to white so added the cute little splodges from French Foliage.. think there chesnuts really, but i love that stamp for filling in..

Hope you like my card.. heres a list of the supplies Ive used:

Mixed Bunch, French Foliage and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Love Blossoms roller, Ink and card stock – as challenge but Calypso Coral instead of Cameo Coral as i didnt have that, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Word Window Punch and Blossom Punch, Autumn Accent Bigz Die.
