Refreshing Flower - ColourQ #138

This is my first time doing a ColourQ challenge.   I really love the cards they have posted and the inspiration to use color combinations that I normally wouldn't reach for on my own.   

I used Stampin' Up DSP and cardstock.   The DSP is from this past Spring's Occasions mini catalog.   The greeting is also from Stampin Up (One of a Kind).  I used the Stampin' Up flower petal punch to create the large petals.   The inside petals are punched with two Marvy Uchida punches that I've had for ages.   The leaves and border are punched with Martha Stewart punches.   I cut the label using a Spellbinder's die.  I cut two extra shapes and cut them up to make the background layer.   The seam binding ribbon is from Stampin' Up.  I added a pearl to the center of the flower and used my Crop-A-Dial Corner Chomper by We R Memory Keepers. Almost forgot one more thing.   I used an Impression Obsession background stamp to stamp the stripes on the Crumb Cake card base. 

Lil' Biker Birthday Card

Here's the card I made my son for his birthday.  He is really into cards this year.   When the first couple of cards arrived in the mail, he asked about displaying them like I did the Christmas cards.   Well, he claimed the buffet in the dining room and they are all lined up like soldiers.   Right in the middle is this hand made card I did for him.   The entire family signed it.

Little Birdie Birthday Wishes (Mojo214)

I made this birthday card for my friend and Stampin' Up Demo, Chris Galbraith.  If you live in the Memphis area and want to get started with stamping, I couldn't recommend a better person to meet.   I really like making cards for her because 1) I know the card will go to someone that truly understands and appreciates what went into it and 2) I challenge myself to use only SU product, and when possible, use current SU product.

I used the Mojo Monday 214 sketch for this card with some adaptation.
