Good morning! Arielle's got an interesting challenge in store for YOU today! She's come up with this awesome sketch for you to pair up with your favorite past Colour Q challenge! I chose to work with CQ Challenge #32 as I really loved those colours together. Now, I don't have any Groovy Guava in the house so I substituted Cajun Craze for it :)I had just gotten this stamp set so of course, it must be inked up! I held a masculine cards class last week and this was one of the three designs the class attendees made.
The sketch had called for three dots on the top there and the brads I had enough of were just not big enough for my design. Nothing looked right until I thought about punching paper! So, I punched out three Basic Black circles, popped a glue dot on the back of each and put them on the card. Then, I put a drop of Crystal Effects on each one! Instant brads!
Anywho, hope you like my card this week! Have a great day!
