Welcome to another round of Colour Focus. Here's a re-cap of this month's inspiration:
This lovely quilt was spied on Sweetwater Etsy site.
Here's a closer view of the card. The bird's body was decorated with a background stamp from the Backgrounds set.
Lory used It's All About Documenting stamp set to create a collage. She took inspiration from the image. This stamp set is perfect for writing journaling, adding embellishments and making a cool background to her page.
Mary used the quilting part of this month's color focus as her inspiration! She cut little blocks of paper and decorated them with stamping and embossing with white powder. Then she stitched all the blocks to a white background.
She used the following stamp sets: Funky Paisley, Scribble Flowers, Backgrounds, and It's All About...Hearts! Here's a closer view of it:

Michelle created a lovely little treasure! It's a very little wooden treasure chest she bought
in Mexico a while ago. She painted it in cream acrylic and inked it, added
the lace and ribbons in the colours inside and out. She had fun with the Make a Chain stamp set. She stamped and
embossed several of the flowers , hearts and circles in bronze, painted
them with lumiere paints and then added glossy accents, They certainly
make gorgeous tiny embellishments!
Here's a view inside the box:
Nat went for a card and done it in her favourite colours, kraft and cream as she is loving that combination at the moment. She created a background in vintage cream ink using one of the centres from
Build a Bloom stamp set for a bit of a mod look, and just twinned it with some
fab MM blooms.
Here's a closeup view of it:
Last but not least, Tracie took inspiration from the quilting patterns and created a card. She cut 1 inch squares from coordinating white cored patterned papers and
layered them on top of one another before distressing and adding
stitched edges. Using the Pharmacy stamps set she stamped individual
letters to each square to add the greeting to her card.

Everything is gorgeous here and I love how everyone has a different take on the challenge!
