KWerner Color Challenge #32

Hooray - it's time for another Kristina Werner challenge - I was really upset to have missed the last one - the colours were just my style. Although I really can't complain about missing it as I was in Singapore on holiday with my family - not too much of a hardship. I may try the colours later anyway!

Having just gotten back from Asia 2 nights ago I decided these colours would adapt beautifully to an Asian style card - very traditional. I know I should be thinking Christmas card, but I needed a bit of a break from them!!! And there are some real beauties out there in challenge land!! Check out Kristina's blog for links! http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/index.html

Kristina had said we could change the Sahara Sand out for a metallic - so I went with gold embossed flowers on the fan and Brushed Gold cardstock under the Very Vanilla fan. The flowers were stamped from the Eastern Blooms set - only a couple of days to go for the Summer Mini : ) , and the sentiment was from the Artfully Asian set. I also used my Cuttlebug to add texture to the Whisper White card. The Real Red fan blades were made by running a scrap of card through my mini desktop shredder - a much finer shred than a standard traditional shredder - I couldn't think how else to cut such fine strips. I also made a mini tassle from some red DMC embroidery thread - one good thing about being a crafter - there's usually something useful in the craft cupboard if needed!!! The little medallion on the fan was made by embossing a flower onto card and the punching out a 1/2" circle from it - you don't need to use the whole flower to get the effect you need.

I have made the card with Real Red instead of Riding Hood Red - I don't actually have any Riding Hood Red CS so please excuse the change!
