Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge, ColourQ #213

Hi all, I'm here today with a couple of cards for two different Challenges- Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge, and colourQ Challenge. My first card is for the cQc, using these pretty colours: 


I've made a New Home card for the creator of Waltzingmouse Stamps Claire Brennan, who has recently moved house. She also managed to host the monthly Pajama Party over on her blog during moving, no mean feat at the best of times.


I have stamped the smaller house image from A Cottage Home by WMS in Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade, the closest colours I have to the inspiration pic.


I layered the panel onto some card which was the closest colour I had to Peach Parfait, and wrapped some purple button twine along the bottom before adding the sentiment in London Fog ink  from A Cottage Home and Big Day Today set, also from WMS.


Finally I finished off with some sparkly gems.

My next card is for the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge, which has a sketch for us to follow this week:


And here's my take:


 I have used Two Step Sprig and Big Day Today for this card, stamping the flowers in a couple of different pinks and purples, and cutting out and layering with pop dots.


It's a fairly CAS design, but I took forever deciding how to place the flowers!!


I love this elegant sentiment., finished off with a couple of pink gems.

And that's all from me today, off out with the kids to see Thor 3, I hope it's not too scary!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Sorry I'm tardy with my comments Pauline I have an ear infection and have been too dizzy to use my computer.

Your card is stunning - the flowers are gorgeous and using the springs for the wave in the sketch was inspired!

Thanks for joining the Fanatics again - we love to see you play along each challenge so thanks for your support.

Love your beautiful designs Pauline - especially how you've used the house stamp...so clever! The second one is so pretty - I'm not surprised it took ages to position the flowers. Thanks for joining us at Colour Q this week!
