OLW, colourQ #123

Hi all, I have a quick post this evening, as I managed to squeeze in a bit of crafty time today around my chores and general panic over our trip!

I love the colours this week from colourQ, and I was inspired by the picture to use an owl stamp I've had for a little while. However, after I had stamped and coloured it, it just didn't look right, so I went for a more simple graphic feel.



I was inspired to keep it one layered, and Clean and Simple following the new challenge from One Layer Wednesday, where today's new challenge asks for 5 circles or more to be incorporated in your one layer card. I'm also entering this into this week's City Crafter Challenge, which would like 3 or more colours of the rainbow.



Using this label from Waltzingmouse Stamps Very Vintage Labels 3, I stamped directly onto the card base in Memento London Fog, and coloured with pencils. The sentiment is from WMS Frame it set, and the little flourishes are from Very Vintage Labels 4, stamped in Versamagic Pink Petunia.

I've counted the little circles set into the corners, and there's 44!!

I'll be back tomorrow with a card for the new challenge at DYSU, thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
