KWerner Color Challenge #35

Well it's time for another challenge from Kristina Werner. I must admit to thinking these colours would be easy - but I did struggle a little - maybe because I had a frustrating day out trying to finish up my Christmas shopping. Nothing seemed to go right for me today except for finding parking spots!! I had a list a mile long and went to 2 separate shopping centres before I started having some success - never mind - I thought having a go at the challenge would relax me - and it did.

Firstly I had to find a substitute for the Baja Breeze CS as we don't have it here in Australia - I went with Ballet Blue instead. The flower from the Embrace Life set was stamped onto So Saffron CS in Chocolate Chip, and then detailed with Dazzling Diamonds and my So Saffron marker. The branch was also stamped in Chocolate Chip and then the leaves were coloured in with So Saffron. I deliberately chose not to use Very Vanilla as the base for my stamping as I really felt like doing something different for the challenge. The actual card is Very Vanilla, I just took the photo on top of some Ballet Blue CS as a white background didn't seem to work. The Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon added some "strength" to the card. I'm not too sure of this card - but the therapy in producing it made it all worth while and it does look better IRL!!
