I surprised myself at the restraint I used with color on this card. I have been studying the gallery of Susie B and her use of color is a supreme example of *less is more*! She uses light touches of color and boy do her cards sing to me!!! This concept is something my mom has been trying to get through my head for over half a century! (yikes!!!!) Okay, it took a while and now I get it!!!
Anyhow I am delighted with how this came out and I thank you for looking! I used a dusty cuttlebug EF that came with one of the Disney sets, the swiss dots folder, some orchid ribbon that was rakked to me, and a button from Recollections!

p.s. for you *youngsters* out there wondering about my crazy title, it was a slogan for a mens' hair cream called Bryl Cream. All you oldsters like me will get it! LOL

LOL my grandpa used Bryl Cream. I remember the smell. That brings back warm memories. This is terrific. I love the light touch of color. Purple just pops to me... TFS
