ColourQ DT - Challenge #235

Afternoon all, thought I better confirm I'm still on this planet!
As some of you may have read in an earlier post I decided to try selling a few invitations online, but a few have turned into a lot!
So I haven't had much spare time, it's just been work, sleep and invitations!
Anyway, I managed to create a card for this weeks challenge over at ColourQ, the colour palette this week is gorgeous!

                                                         
I thought I would ink up my new Clearly Besotted stamp set, Good Times, which can be found HERE.
The cardstock is Stampin Up, twine is American Crafts and the embossing folder is from my local craft store, not sure which brand.
Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's fabulous creations, best get back to the production line, here's my card, happy crafting!

I thought it would be a good colour combo for my Mother's day card. I decided to make a new style of card - well new to me! It was made using my new embossing folder's, a love heart die, a nice big button and a bit of sparkle!

Evening peeps, apologies for absence! You may think I have been having a break from crafting, but I have in fact been crafting more than ever this week!
A couple of weeks ago I had the idea of making a few invitations to sell, just to generate a small income to fund my crafting habit!
However I received four orders in the first week, so I have been surrounded by Ivory card and satin ribbon for most of the week!
Anyway, enough waffle, onto today's card!
It's time for a new challenge over at ColourQ and we have a gorgeous Colour palette for you.
