This weeks House Mouse challenge is a colour challenge.
Cameo Coral (a slightly peachy pink), OLD olive (a rich olive green) and Night of Navy (navy blue in its finest)
When I first saw this I was somewhat daunted but - hey - that's what a challenge is all about and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it. I'm not sure my colours are exact but they are what I had available.
I thought I had better get my sewing machine out as 'Gruffie' is using his. I stitched round the edges of the green and the peach. I coloured the image with a mixture of pastels and watercolours. The sentiment is computer generated and I decided I didn't want it too flowery so I added one of the circular flowers I have seen on various blogs. I did decorate the inside of the card (I'm nearly on track this year - about 99% as opposed to about 50% last year) but I couldn't photograph this without it being blurred for some strange reason.

This is a really cute card! I hadn't seen that image. I, too, used colors I had on hand. They're pretty close, I think!
