It's Tuesday and time for another wonderful color combination from ColourQ....I am in love the Tea Towel used for inspiration. A dear friend of ours just lost their sweet dog, Selby and I wanted to make a special card for her family...I know Selby was loved so much and will be missed.
My second card is for the challenge over at TIME OUT and they are celebrating their 1st Birthday, so I wanted to play along. My eye glasses were all cut by Lucy, my Silhouette. So nice to have die cuts at a moments notice when you don't have on hand what your looking for.
I have another new follower that I want to welcome....her name is Simonne Clay from SemSee's Sparkling scribblings. If you have not been to Simonne's blog, grab a cup of your favorite beverage and take a peek, she is so so talented! Welcome!
Fantastic cards - I love that pawprint die, I can see I will have to get it despite having no pets. You've also really captured the frame inspiration perfectly!
ReplyDeleteYou are the sweetest friend. I'm sure Selby's family will appreciate your kindness immensely. Beautiful CAS card for them. You've used the colors perfectly. And I'm loving your TO card. Those Lucy cut glasses are so fun in all those bright colors! Love the little pearls too. Have a great Tuesday, my friend. Miss you. Bev
ReplyDeleteYour first card will be cherished and such a lovely sentiment. Adore your take on our challenge at TIME OUT! I hadn't thought of the glasses idea and in all these bright colours so very funky. Thanks for joining us at Time Out
ReplyDeleteTwo more amazing cards dear friend! Selby's family will be so grateful for this pretty card that you made for them. I don't know Selby or her owners and my old, over sensitive eyes welled up with tears! But your second card brightened my day! Gorgeous CAS desgin! Yep - I'm totally calling Winner, Winner with this card....especially with the pretty pearl blings!
ReplyDeleteWonderful interpretation of both photos with these cards Kim! Love your take on the second photo and great way to use the colors for CQ. Perfect CAS card for your friend.
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards. I just love the first one, and am pinning it to CASE. Unfortunately, it is always good to have sympathy cards on hand. I love that sweet paw print die, and I never thought of using it like you did. And, those glasses...wow! So stylish and mod. And, the perfect sentiment as well.
ReplyDeleteTwo darling cards Kim! I love how you interpreted the colourQ with that sweet pawprint! There eyeglasses are perfect for Time Out!
ReplyDeleteYour color card is fabulous and your friends will appreciate it Kim! Those glasses are so fun, terrific card!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to hear about Selby, I can't imagine what it would be like to lose Bella, so my heart goes out to your friends. Your card for them is so simple and very touching. And what a brilliant card of eye glass 'frames'!!! Lucy must be so handy, bet she gets used alot!! Fabulous inspiration from the photo and I'm always so happy when you visit us at TIME OUT!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent design for a sympathy card for Selby's family! Your eye glasses are a great take on that inspiration photo! I just got a new Silhouette for Christmas (my other one was eight years old), I should really give her a name.
ReplyDeleteI love that sweet paw print on your first card and those glasses on the second one are so cute.
ReplyDeleteLove that pet sentiment and the paw print and heart couldn't be more perfect! Wonderful take on the Time Out challenge too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of the photo inspiration, Kim, & that is a perfect card for the family grieving the loss of a beloved dog. Hope you're having a good week--we're about to get some rain, which we need.
ReplyDeleteEvery card you make plucks my "awww" strings, Kim! These are both so wonderful! The sweet CAS card of sympathy for Selby will be so appreciated and your colorful eyeglass card is a total winner! Mark my words!! Way to go, Lucy!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteTwo great designs Kim - one of the doctors I work for just lost their dog and his small children are so devastated - love the pawprint - and the glasses are so colorful and fun!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, Kim! Love the adorable paw print card! I must try those colors! The second card is just too cool! Great design!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! Love the sweet simplicity of the first and the accents on the glasses in the second.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful duo of creations. Such true wording on the first and I love the colours of the second.

Love that sweet little paw print!
ReplyDeleteSuch clever takes in both challenges! I love the color scheme of your first, i very seldom enter a color challenge, they are, with the photo ones, the trickiest for me, but I might give this one a go. The colorful eyeglasses is such a fun take in the photo inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card for your friends loss of Selby, beautiful sentiment and so comforting.
ReplyDeleteYour eyeglasses are so fabby, love these bright colours!
Your pawprints card for you friend...heart-warming and touching. She'll love these deeply, as do I. Memories of my dogs, from years ago, sparked. Your eye-glasses card: a most excellent take on the Time Out photo! Fabulous! My thinking cap needs to be tied on more tightly for this challenge...pondering, pondering!

ReplyDeleteFabulous designs, Kim! Love the paw print and these fun, funky spectacles :) Great to see you over at Time Out!
ReplyDeleteGreat CAS cards on both of these. Especially liked the puppy paw in the heart - a very comforting image for a pet loss. #2 is such a bright & fun card with these super inspiration colors. Love that you added the pearls to dress up the specs too. Good for you on using that Silhouette! TFS & Happy Sunday. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI saw your card in the gallery at Time Out (don't know how I missed the post) and had to chuckle at the frames for frames inspiration. And you've named your Silhouette? I have only used mine once since winning it. Both cards are wonderful, and I'm sure your friends will appreciate the pet sympathy one.
ReplyDeleteSo dear sweet Kim - these two cards are perfection and sweetness and just so YOU!!! Those glasses on that card are so delightful and what fun to have made that card meet that inspiration photo so perfectly!! You are just a creative and talented crafter - love being able to visit your blog!!! Hugs to you!!
