ColourQ CAS Halloween with Penny Black

I’m playing along with ColourQ #311 using Penny Black stamps and dies. Here’s my take on the challenge colors with a CAS Halloween card:

ColourQCASBoo

I cut the BOO (Penny Black 51-077 Eeek!) and haunted house (Penny Black 51-073 Haunted Hollow) from black cardstock, twice each for extra depth. I backed the house with the Wisteria Wonder cardstock. The moon was cut from Kiwi Kiss and the rectangle from Tangerine Tango. I stamped a sentiment from Penny Black 30-185 Halloween Critters in Versafine ink on the card base (the font has a scribble that adds a bit of spooky!).

ColourQ #297

I’m playing along with ColourQ #297 with a CAS card featuring die cut birds in the challenge colors of navy, red and pool.

 

I cut the birds with the Taylored Expressions Birds and Branch die set (there are four birds in the set, I used three of the bird shapes). I added a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hip Notes set, stamped in navy on white cardstock, trimmed with a Spellbinders rectangle die. The sentiment and the birds were adhered to the kraft base with dimensional adhesive.

ColourQ Challenge #295

I’m playing along with ColourQ Challenge #295 with a CAS card created with Reverse Confetti Confetti Cuts.

With the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts, I cut two narrow chevrons from navy cardstock and two wider chevrons in the soft pink. I cut the sentiment out of a gold foil paper with the Fancy Words Confetti Cuts set. The pink and navy combination feel preppy to me, and I created the card with a preppy theme in mind.

Flower Sparks

I’m playing along with ColourQ #293 with a CAS card featuring floral images Penny Black’s Flower Sparks stamp set.

ColourQ-293

I used Post-it notes to mask when I stamped the 30-281 Flower Sparks images, so that I could have the stems a different color than the blooms. I added a sentiment from the versatile set 30-283 Snippets before cutting the image with a square die cut and matting it with another white cardstock square. The Island Indigo card base is 4 1/4″ square.

ColourQ #292

I created a CAS Thank You card created with die cuts for the ColourQ #292 Challenge.

CQC292

I cut the letters with the Lawn Cuts alphabet dies and placed them onto the colored squares, cut with one of the smaller square dies in a Spellbinders Nestabilities set. I cut the letters from all four of the colors and played around with combinations of letters and squares until choosing this one. The stitched rectangle was cut with a Lil’ Inker die.
