Scary Colors Card.....

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day to you!

This card is for a pretty scary color challenge on SCS. I didn't exactly think of Halloween when I read the colors--purple, green and orange but my kiddos did LOL! I was more concerned with how I was going to pull this off so I threw in a tad of black and added some crystal effects to my flowers for the *wow* or should I say *calming* effect. I had to have some ribbon on this basic layout of mine and I do believe that *finished* my creation!!

Off to work now---laundry, house cleaning, wrapping up my last swap & a secret exchange....fun, fun!! Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a great rest of the day!!!
TTFN,

  2. When I first glanced at your card, before reading anything, my first thought was: She used Halloween colors! Hooray, you thought outside the "candy bag" on this one! :-)

  3. I don't think it looks halloweenish at all - I really like it. I agree about the ribbon, I think it finishes it too.

  16. Some of these SCS color challenge combinations ARE really scary. They take me out of my comfort zone too. They are not what I would pick, put it does stretch you and make you work to get it done. This one came out just great!
