Monochromatic Easter for Colour Me...!

We have a fun monochromatic colour combo for you today at Colour Me...! 

Easter is a great time to make cute little treats and special packaging. I like to try and do something new for the kiddos each year. This year, I went with one of these super sweet treat tubes and a doodled 3x3 note card.

The carrots were doodled onto a piece of Whisper White and the concept came about as I was on a call at work not too long ago. I was drawing tornadoes, and then realized that they looked a lot like carrots... I've been just waiting for the perfect opportunity to try them out :)

The top of the carrot treat tube is Burlap Ribbon that has been separated out strand by strand and tied together with a piece of Linen Thread. Another piece of Burlap Ribbon was adhered around the top. 

The treat tube itself was made with Pumpkin Pie Core'dinations paper and embossed with the Elegant Lines embossing folder for something a little more exciting.

Colour Me...! Playful!

It's hard to believe that February is almost over! Over at Colour Me...! we are on a 4-colour week, and already saying goodbye to our oh-so-wonderful Featured Designer for the month, Susie. My how time flies.

This week we had some fun colours; Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Real Red and Smoky Slate.

I started with a 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" cardbase. I used the hardwood background stamp on another piece of Smoky Slate and cut out one of the frames from the Chalk Talk framelit set. In behind I tucked the fun stamp from Love You to the Moon. I distressed the edges slightly using the distressing tool and sponged around it a little bit with black. 

Let me tell you, I loved these colours... As I was making this one, I was thinking about 100 other cards I wanted to make with this combo. I digress...

The banners were punched out with the Banner Punch from SAB and each one was decorated differently. From Left to Right: 

• Bermuda Bay candy dots
• Essentials Wooden Elements (coloured with Real Red marker)
• Hand doodles with Bermuda Bay marker
• Vintage Faceted button 
• Itty Bitty Shapes punch
