Well I was not that happy with my first color challenge card this morning. I notice that if I am ambivalent or afraid of the colors emily gives us I often just make them very pale, and that is what happened with card no. 1. And at first i found this combination DAUNTING! I REALLY wanted to do a beautiful floral card like Carole's but could not come up with any ideas untill I went into the bathroom and got a kleenex. I LOOKED at this flower arrangement which I have had in there for almost a year, and it was a LIGHTBULB moment! I mean, DOH, there was my answer, right in my house, in a rooom I go in several times a day! So I ran down to the cellar and grabbed RIW and this is what I came up with. I am THRILLED with it, sometimes ya just get it right, KWIM? Hope I do not sound like I am bragging coz that is not something I do but I guess I am old enough to know when I succeded in a goal. thanks for lOOKing!
oh the ribbon unties and the top not die card opens up frpom the bottom to the top.
