These colors are not a combo I would have thought of on my own..and because it is a bold combination I stepped out of my usual vintage mode and went for some "art". The bg on the ATC is made using oil pastels that I rubbed with gel baby oil. I used acrylic paint, drywall tape, and some circle stencils for the bg. I doodled a frame and that's pretty much it. I've wanted to use this quote for quite a while..it cracks me up...I hope you all know who Neil Young (CSN&Y) and Don Henley (Eagles) are..they were a huge part of my high school and college days and I'm still a fan.

Ha! That is a great quote! As soon as I read it "Cinnamon Girl" started playing in my head. CSN&Y and the Eagles were part of the soundtrack to my high school and college days, too.
I love how you took these colors and just went full out Artsy Mixed Media! You ended up with a fabulous card!

You are younger than me! : ) I remember "Judy Blue Eyes", but that's before the "Y" was added.
Anyway............I love your bold and direct approach to today's challenge. Polly....much like Peggy's colors. You are an Artist(with the capital "A") and put more content into your work than just creating a pretty picture. I always find them thought provoking and enjoyable.
