ColourQ Birthday

I've been playing with the current ColourQ Challenge all evening, and I FINALLY got something that didn't end up in the trash. Thank goodness for recycling.

Here's their color prompt:

And my card:

(Oooh, that's a bit out of focus. Tired eyes syndrome. Sorry.)

I used an image from the Paper Smooches Potpourri set, stamped it in black on a remnant of textured white*, and again on each of four scraps of patterned paper. I cut out the colored pieces, glued them down, stamped a sentiment (from SU Curly Cute), and stuck that onto a Pool Party base. Done.

This was waaaaay easier than the first two I tried. Some of those parts-is-parts may actually be salvageable and live on to grow up to become part of another card. We'll see.

Thanks for stopping by!

* For one very brief moment, I actually considered stamping the image again, once on either side of the first one, to get a row across. Then I remembered who I was, and laughed out loud. Did you hear me? Man, I crack myself up.
