Colour Q #150

Happy Day!

Greetings from Perfect Weather, TN. We are in pre-Fall bliss here. Can't ever remember an August this pleasant! I actually DON'T want to punch someone (the Hubs is even safe now) just b/c the heat and humidity is making me very irritable. It's a really nice turn of events (for everyone in my household - even the kitty cats are jubilant. Well, for a cat - you'd have to know them personally to realize they are jubilant.)

I'm taking advantage of the weather and outdoors babysitting my piglets to sneak in a post. The kids have burned up the driveway with their scooters and now moved to the trampoline. I'm actually using the table on our back patio for a TABLE!

This week's Colour Q colors stumped me at first, I must admit. But after seeing this card, I was inspired to use the bright, vibrant colors for Fall. As I've admitted to my own overwhelming vice with Halloween goodies, I'm also admitting Fall is a very close (if not even) second. So the inspiration pushing me to Autum artwork was very much welcomed.

I used the (retired) CTMH November Word Puzzle stamp set and Olive, Tulip, and Honey inks. Natural Hemp and Ocean colored-cardstock - voila! Card finito!



My fun little card:



Thanks for looking - hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Pin It
