Colour Create's First Challenge

This is my first card as DT for Tara's new Colour Create Challenge Blog - not my usual style, but I wanted to concentrate on the colours this week. I used a brown bazzill bling as the base card (and oh boy - was it difficult to photograph - it insisted on catching the light). I used the cuttlebug folder Divine Swirls and the flowers are cut from the Harmony alphabet set, which I mounted on a flourish as a stem. The butterfly is also Cuttlebug's cut and emboss set and I used the Martha Stewart punch on the edge of the green Basic Grey off beat collection. I cut the tag by hand and added a small butterfly charm.

I must say I tend to play safe with colours and this really stretched me and took me out of my comfort zone - but Hey ! - that's what challenges are about and I found it most rewarding. The cushions below are your colour inspiration for this week - come along and 'play' - we'd love to see what you could do with them
