I have some very, very exciting news to share...I am still over the moon excited and have to pinch my self every once in a while to make sure it is true and not a dream. About a week or two ago I was messaged by Arielle, the Queen from the ColourQ challenge blog asking me if I would like to be part of their team, my response was "are you serious?" and of course I said YES! ColourQ has always has been my favorite challenge blog and the first two times I played back in 2011, my cards were chosen as Colour Courtier and I have been playing along ever since. So here is my first card as part of the Royal Court...thank you so much for taking time to stop by and I hope you will find the time to play along!
My card was inspired by one made by Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea, you can see her card
here. It only took me 4, yes 4 tries to get my argyle lined up.
