Three challenges from this week:
LSC106 The Bold and the Beautiful
TLC106 Frayed Ribbon
SC114 On an Angle
Started out doing just the Limited Supplies challenge, where we were to use colors from the Bold Brights family, plus black and white if we wanted, and to try not to use patterned paper. I liked the sketch challenge from earlier this week so I used it again. I had not done the frayed ribbon technique challenge yet, since I don't have much grosgrain ribbon to fray, so I was waiting for a card to come along that could use ribbon in a color I had. :-)
Not knowing where to start witih the Bold Brights, I had DH pick 3 Bold Bright colors for me. He chose Yoyo Yellow, Orchid Opulence, and Tempting Turquoise.
The backgrounds were all stamped, masked, reverse masked, sponged, and spritzed. The focal image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. How many techniques can a girl use on one card?

You did a great job with a color combo that sounds awful! Yet it worked out beautifully. I love this card! It all works together so there's a lot of detail but not overwhelming. Great job.

This one is definitely going into my favorites, even though I have none of the stamps I would need to duplicate it. I just want to make sure I can find it when I want to look at it again. It's just such a perfect summery card!
