Hi! This card was made for today's Ways to Use It Challenge: Bold Brights. I used Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Green Galore and Gable Green. (And the tip top of the sky is Tempting Turquoise!) The designer paper has Orchid Opulence mixed in with those colors.
I LOVE Bold Brights....That said, I usually use them in a combination with softer colors to help tone down the SHOCK value! LOL
I have a RULE in my stampin' room. If I don't clean up after my last card made, I have to use the scraps leftover on my next card. Well....I didn't clean up yesterday. (I had a doctor's appointment in the morning, lunch with my parents and then 5 different ladies dropped in on me, unexpectedly, 2 of them at the same time! I was lucky to have enough time to comment on SCS and get dinner ready before Mark got home from work. He thinks I sit around and eat bon bons all day! LOL)
The background was made by combining colors with my Copic Airbrush. I stamped the image in Always Artichoke and decided it made a good "neutral" for the Bold Brights.

I really love your use of colors in this card! It looks like a fantasy world, with the butterflies and plants afloat in a sea of color! I LOVE the pink colored sun (or is that Glinda, the good witch coming to Munchkinland??)

I like your rule, I too make myself use those left behind scraps as well. Cleaning up takes away some of the fun time for me. Love this pretty card.
