cQc #279 ~ A Little Note!
Hi there! Ready to put your ColourQ thinking caps on? Arielle has a fun palette this week ~ black, red and newsprint! Now I took one look at that and thought this will be easy...I was wrong!! My card took waaaaay too long. It's not my best, but it's not my worst either. I think it's just sort of...eh. The problem was that when I went to pull some newsprint paper from my 6x6 pads, I was limited. Some had a pink background, some has teal blue lettering, this is a snippet from a larger piece that had a golden yellow flower on it. So my newsprint turned out to be pretty small!!
I started with a rustic cream card base stamped with my DeNami large dot swirl in opposing corners. My three banners were cut from scraps. The red was already embossed. I added them to a die cut label (PTI) topped with the newsprint. And last but not least, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Onyx Sequins.
Well that wraps things up for me. Pop over to the ColourQ blog to check out what the team had to share! ~Lisa

I think your card captures the theme and inspiration perfecly. Love the embossed banners!
Newsprint is fab and you've made it the star of the show this time around! This card is very dapper.
I think this is beautiful, Lisa. I love how you used the colors, and the newsprint is a great touch. Loving the pretty flourishes in the background. Well done! ;-) (Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog this week!)

How fun! I love it, but I know what you mean about sometimes the simplest cards or layouts we struggle with the longest! LOVE the color theme!
Fabulous take on the challenge! The embossed and patterned tags and swirly background design are really eye-catching--love it!
I love it and its perfect for the inspiration photo. Your just not used to bolder colors.
Lisa I love it... see the paper on the right? black on black? My all-time favorite paper and would love to have a life long supply - you wouldn't have that much, would you?

That red embossed banner beautifully stands out and I love the design, especially with the swirled background!
So beautiful...love your background swirls with the sequins, so pretty.
Beautiful card! I love your banner with the pretty tails! I know what you mean about a card not coming together! I had the same thing happen yesterday and actually abandoned it for now! Lol! It just wasn't working!
