I LOVE colour challenges because they compel me to use colours I never would have thought of pairing on my own, and I use them as a further challenge to rumage through my stash of scraps to match up the colours as closely as possible. When I saw this floral image that inspired Curtain Call's Act 15 colour challenge, I had to include a flower on my card too:
. . . and I figured, 'Why not use it on a card?' So I took it apart (to flatten it a tad) and used a brad to re-attach it. I found this great button in my stash too!
Card base looks more yellow in the photo, but is much more orange IRL.
I know the colour challenge calls for WHITE, but since the flower I chose had a more creamy tint, I stuck with it for the sentiment strip too. CREAM is a shade of WHITE right? Leaf punch is EK Success.
That's it for tonight--gonna go finish watching the Grammys--Michael Jackson tribute on right now--pretty great!
Thanks 4 your time!
