ColourQ #76 & CPS #209

I am determined not to miss the ColourQ deadline this week!  No more blond moments for me.  :)  I've combined the Q colours:  


And here is the result.  
Supplies: Cardstock: SU; Patterned Paper: Basic Grey; Stamp: PTI; Ink: SU Early Espresso; Nestie: Labels 17; Rub-ons: Basic Grey
I recently commented to Lynn about my fear of using rub-ons (only getting half the design to stick, etc).  I should have heeded my fear!  What a disaster!  I'm surprised I had any left to use on the card to be honest.  I somehow managed to get one stuck all over my sentiment stamp and in the process of trying to clean it off I got bits of it stuck all over my fingers.  Those things did not want to come off!  I'm pretty pleased with the final result but it was an epic battle getting those suckers to cooperate with me.

What a lovely, serene sympathy card, Jen! Thanks for playing with us at the ColourQ.

The card turned out great! :) Perhaps rub-ons take a little practice. I'm not big on them either for the same reason...

Beautiful card Jen!
I'm so relieved to hear I'm not the only one who has ever had those kinds of issues with rub-ons! The last time I tried them I too ended up with them all over everything but my card. It looks like you conquered in the end though. :)

This is gorgeous, Jen! I can't tell that you had such trouble with the rub-ons. This card turned out amazing! Have a fabulous weekend. :)
