colourQ 333!

Top o' the morning to you!  There's a whole lotta green this week at colourQ.  Just in time for St. Patrick's day!  A funny thing happened to me on my way to making my card for this weeks colourQ challenge.  More on that later.

I made a cursory check around my stamp room for some leprechauns or four leaf clovers or some other image that conjured up St. Patrick's day but came up empty.  So I opted for the next best thing:  a bit of grunge and a butterfly!

The sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches provided my layout, although it's a bit of a stretch and I'll understand completely if the design team over there kick me out of the gallery.  The dripping paint background stamp is meant to be the square on the sketch and the butterfly is, well, a super awesome focal point on any card!

I sat down at my desk on Sunday to make my card for this week's colourQ challenge and I had a fantastic idea in mind using a certain sketch and another challenge where the focus was supposed to be the sentiment.  My card came together quickly and I was so happy.  Then I started to write up the cheat sheet that I use when I write my blog post that lists the supplies, challenges, and other details about the card.  That's when I realized that the colors I used were for NEXT week's colourQ challenge!  Duh!  So back to the drawing board I went to whip up something made entirely of green!  The good news is that I'm a week ahead.  That never happens to me!

There are some very lovely monochromatic green cards from the colourQ design team this week so be sure to check them out.  I hope to see you in the gallery!

Thanks for stopping by!
