Hello friends!! A super windy day here in the PacNW... thought I was going to blow away when I picked up the little guy from school!! Have a card I made using the new ColourQ combo (black, yellow, bright blue, light blue and white). I'm not a super trendy person when it comes to clothes or stamping, but when I saw the Irresistibly Ikat set that was released by PTI last month I was intrigued by the designs and so I purchased it... so glad I did because sometimes you just have to step outside your little box and try a trend!!
My sister needed a masculine "thank you" card, but after going through my huge assortment of cards I could not find a single "thank you" that would work for a guy. So, I decided to whip out my Irresistibly Ikat set and make a thank you card with it using the ColourQ combo. A pretty darn simple card, but so perfect for a guy. It is a bit hard to tell, but I did use to different shades of blue (Memento Danube Blue and SU!'s Brocade Blue). You can definitely see the difference IRL. And since this uses a chevron-style image I'm going to pop it into the Moxie Fab World Chevron challenge.
Thanks for stopping by...
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; Stamps: PTI; Ink: Memento Danube Blue, Tuxedo Black & Dandelion; SU! Brocade Blue

Geeze Rosemary your ikat in this week's colours is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at the colourQ!
You're making good use of that new stamp set, Rosemary! What a terrific card & perfect for both challenges--& the guy thank you your sis needs!
I LOVE this. I stayed away from the ikat set because I just wasn't sure it would look CAS - but you have used it perfectly!
Loving that great design! How fun to get a little weather report from Tacoma too since I was born and raised there!
A great card Rosemary, wish we could get PTI in the UK. Xx
Oh... such a great card! Love the blues with the yellow, and appreciate the masculine edge (I definitely need more guy/neutral designs, waiting patiently for my PTI ikat!). Thanks for the inspiration!
Fab guy card Rosie, I'm in awe of anyone that can create perfect background patterns with stamps:) If you get the chance check out http://sporadicstamper.blogspot.co.uk/ blog, Kate is a master at patterns as are you!
