I have to admit I wasn't too keen on todays colors when I read the challenge; however throw in a bit of Basic Grey Stella Ruby and I'm feeling groovy! Thanks Emily and those who whisper colors in your inbox!
It all started with the dressmaker pumpkin paper from the Stella Ruby pad. The corner I used for the big mat had all today's colors within it. I've wanted to use my Mona (Hero Arts) again, and I thought she would look fetching peering out from the stupendous Stampers Anonymous frame. I used distress ink in spiced marmalade and embossed with Antiquities rust. Mona is inked onto white GP cs with Archival ink. I matted my Basic Grey paper with SU's soft sky and used a kickstand with the ruby red. I left enough at the bottom to place my lace from B Line Designs inked in Adirondack cranberry and an ombre ribbon with picot trim. The sentiment(B Line again), which actually began the whole card, is on soft sky with VersaColor black and embossed in clear. The photo color appears white. I popped the saying on foam dots.
So now, it's your turn, how do you think I did with those colors?

Well, I think you've made those colors sing! I, like you, struggled at first at the thought of these together, but wow! I love what you have created here! All the various mediums and textures really keep one's interest piqued! Great take on the challenge!

Susan, I couldn't wait to see what you you would do with today's combo and as I expected, it is incredible! I love your elaborately framed Mona! What a fun sentiment, too! Fantastic card!
