My layout comes from Sketch Challenge 264 over at Splitcoast Stampers, and my colours from the very first colour challenge over at Just Add Ink, a new challenge blog hosted by Aussie and NZ Stampin' Up! demonstrators. I love using challenges for inspiration. It really gets the creative juices flowing! It is also fantastic to see what everyone else comes up with using the same colours or the same layout.
The colours used are So Saffron, Taken With Teal, Rose Red, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. It would have been so much easier without So Saffron, but I think that I made it work. I got my Stampin' Pastels out, which I haven't played with in quite a while, so it was lovely to use them again. I really do need to get them out more often!
Thanks for looking,
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral
Cardstock: So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, Stampin' Pastels, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds, Sponge Daubers

Wow I really love your card. My breath was taken away as the PICTURE loaded up. Then I was suprised when I read your bog and you weren't sure if you like it. I LOVE it. AWSOME JOB!
I love this card. I think you've done a fabulous job with the colours and you've really used the So Saffron well. I know what you mean about not being sure about whether you like a card or not (I'm like that all the time), but this really is so very, very pretty!
I love this card. I haven't played much with my pastels, but you've inspired me to dust them off! Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink! x Amanda
