CQC #113



The ColourQ Challenge has a great new color combo for you!  I love blue, so this palette was right up my alley.  I decided to layer the die cut word, again, in shades of blue.  Some simple stamping behind the word was all I needed for this CAS card.

Stamping behind the diecut. That is such a great idea, once again something I would never think of, but adds such an elegant, soft touch to this card. Love the layering of the two color diecuts too.
