color challenge #6



I finally have completed a color challenge on time! Kristina Werner has an awesome color challenge and here is the card I actually completed for it last night. I love this combination - so saffron, sahara sand, pumpkin pie, and wild wasabi - and I drew inspiration from the blank canvas of the comforter and then added the color from the pillows. Kristina did mention to leave the wild wasabi to a minimum, so that's what inspired me to add leaves to my flowers. I think it adds a nice touch of dimension.

On another note..... It's my birthday! Surprise! Ha! Nothing big planned for today, just getting together with my bunco group and then tomorrow my hubby has planned something for me - don't know what that is yet, but he's arranged a babysitter for the kiddos, so I'm just excited to be childless for dinner!

Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back soon - thanks for stopping by!
