This is for Color Challenge 429 - Soft Sky, Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand. In my case, Bashful Blue, Kraft/Antique Linen and Distress Ink in I don't remember which colors, but some were pink. I know this lovely combo really begged for a soft, sweet card, and what a great palette for FLOWERS or BUTTERFLIES (which was our dessert), but I set out to do something other than either one (because I do them so much), and as much as I tried, nothing soft or sweet was forthcoming. I think it's because it's been raining down here in southernmost Florida, and we FL folks are pretty much all sunny-weather junkies. A day of rain is nice, and it's good for the plants - days of it and we starting getting a little weird.
In desperation I turned to my leftover bins, and turned up this mostly-pale-pink wrinkled Distress BG and the blue wrinkle-free one as well. I even found that strip of stamped postage edge Antique Linen. I'd already embossed my unearthly lady, and die cut the fleur de lis rectangle to go underneath her. From there it was just a matter of putting it all together. The corner scroll is Memory Box. I found the button diecut in another bin (SU Button Button). The horizontal strip went on a bit crooked, but what can you do? It's raining, people.
Thanks for looking!

come up to WI, we're having a rainy cool spring. Actually it's what I prefer to the heat. I think your creation is very cool and good job using the leftovers.
