Hi again bleeps. I am back to share with you a ColourQ#146 challenge that I decided to do again this week. I love this new Etruscan Elegance jumbo wheel and then embossing it with the Lacy Brocade makes it so pretty. And this Affection Collection that is a Sneak Peak of the Holiday Catalog also. So basically besides the card stock and ribbon it is all new stuff that we could preorder from the Holiday Catalog. Ah, the perks of being a demonstrator. I love love love how this card turned out with the colors of the ColourQ challenge this week. What do you think?
This is one of the sets they get at Convention in their convention bags. :( how I wish I was there. I used the crumb cake as my card base and then stamped the no 1 banner stamp in Real Red and the design that so mimics the background so well I stamped in black and cut that out with the Window Frames Framelits also new. The FRIEND I stamped in Real Red onto Pear Pizzazz and punched it out with the Modern Label Punch as that is the shape in the design. I colored some Basic Pearls with a Red Sharpie and put those on the design. I sponged Pear Pizzazz around the Window Frames Framelits. I tied Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon around the card and then popped up the design with dimensionals.

Good Monday morning friends, just drinking my cup of Joe. I hope you had a great weekend. I did even though I miss going on a short vacation. Oh well, I am still praying my house will sell and I can get back to Davenport, IA. It really cooled off nice after the rain. We need a reprieve from the heat. I exercised a lot yesterday and ate light. I am trying to lose weight. Seems like it is always a struggle. Keep on trying. I needed a wedding card in August and when I got this wheel I saw how it could be for Halloween but wanted to try it on an elegant card too. This is a very simple card and should have dressed it up a bit more but I wanted to see how it looked in a soft color. I think it works well, don't you?
I used the Naturals White and Pink Pirouette card stock and added ribbon to the middle and I added the Rhinestones on the periods and then on the design of the wheel. I am amazed I got the wheel lined up so well. LOL! I used two ribbons and actually the Pretty In Pink one is discontinued. I used Pretty In Pink ink also so it would show up better. Now can you believe I didn't even use the Big Shot on this card? I maybe could have punched or die cut a scallop but didn't want to take away from the beauty of the wheel.
