ColourQ Challenge - again!

  
You may have read yesterday that my original idea for this week's ColourQ challenge hadn't quite come together so I abandoned it and made one completely different. Well not to be beaten I went back to it and here it is - absolutely nothing like the original idea I had in my head but finished nevertheless. I began by taking a piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock and glueing two narrower strips of Old Olive and More Mustard on to it before running through the Stripes Embossing Folder. I matted this onto some Crumb Cake cardstock and punched out a circle through all the layers to allow the white card blank to show through, and made a frame for the aperture using two circle punches. I then added my sentiment to the base card using my stamp-a-ma-Jig in R.H.Red and, before fixing the top layer on, I tied a knot of Crumb Cake Taffeta ribbon around and added some small coloured circles down the edge to finish the card off.

  3. Very trendy design. I wonder if this would work with layering up narrow strips of card. I've got a bag full of scraps! x
