Holy Moly! Would you look at this color combination?! I pulled out a sheet of cardstock for each one of these colors and I just shook my head. Seriously?!

| Colour Q Challenge #79 by Arielle Gordon |
The only way I could imagine these colors working together was to let the black and white dominate and accent with the other three. I found this fabulous sketch by one of my stamping idols ~ Laurie Schmidlin from Just Give Me Stamps. Laurie is truly one of the BEST in the business and this month Skipping Stones Designs is fortunate to have her as their guest sketch artist.
I started out with a 5-1/4" square of basic black and layered on a 5-1/8" square of polka dot designer paper. Then I cut my strips of black and white dp and lined them up in a neat little row. I had to refrain from stitching on this card as I thought it would be too much with the variety of prints. Instead, I brought out the BLING! What do you think? It's a little different than my norm, but I kind of like it. ;)

Special thanks to Arielle at the Colour Q for including my cards in her ColourQueen Courtiers for cQc #77 and 78. It really makes my day to know that others enjoy my cards as much as I enjoy creating them! :)
Happy Stamping!
