Today's color challenge...Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, and Orchid Opulence...... I feel like the movie titled "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon"....except I am crouching behind my craft desk hiding from my orchid opulence. I have always had a fear of this color......the irony....I moved my craftroom from upstairs to down over Christmas to my daughter's room...she now lives upstairs. This room is painted an orchid opulence shade. I am surrounded by this color....literally.....with A LOT of black accessories. Just had to share!!!!
So here is my card. I embraced the orchid and used a lot of it!!!!I cannot believe I still have SU retired light orchid ribbon....I decided to use it, too!!!!! Love this stamp set!!!
Thanks Emily for another challenging color combo!!!!
