When I sat down to make my card this week for the amazing colors that Arielle has mixed up for us this week at colourQ, I had something quite different in mind. But as these things usually go, I deviated from what I originally planned and wound up with this instead.
I tried a little watercoloring on the wee flowers from Growing Green. The other day I mentioned to someone at work that I like to watercolor because it's somewhat forgiving. You can lay down color in a slap-dash manner and it still looks pretty good. But after seeing this, I think I need revise my opinion or at least practice more. It looked so much better in my brain when I envisioned what this was going to look like!
The latest sketch at Unscripted Sketches provided my layout. I liked the idea of the four different blocks and originally planned on using designer paper for them. But then I got thinking about baker's twine and ended up twining some Lucky Limeade baker's twine around some cardstock to approximate the four blocks.
Now it's your turn. Click here to check out the inspiration from the amazingly talented colourQ design team. Then, as the man says, go ahead, grab your stickles and join us!

Clean and simple...a style I admire but can't pull off myself. Your designs, including this one, are always beautifully executed. I love the way you coloured the flowers; so soft and sweet. Thanks for the inspiration. --Doris
