Color Inspiration




Good Morning! I had a really hard time getting a good picture this morning. The sun is up but the sky is really hazy with smoke from all the fires around here and CA. In fact they are warning people to limit their time outside especially if you have allergies due to the poor air quality. It's supposed to start raining on Sunday so I really hope it does and gets this smoke out of here!

Today's card is one I did quite a while ago. I loved this card when I first did it but wanted to do it again in colors that wouldn't retire. I had even thought about doing this card for convention but it did get a little time consuming. Don't pass out but I did cut three of the little blossoms out and pop them up. I just love the dimension! Anway, I have been a "lurker" of Kristina Werner's blog and she posts color inspiration challenges. I have never participated but have always wanted to. So, when I saw these colors in her challenge I just couldn't pass it up! I LOVE these colors!! So, I knew that I could make this card again and try it with these colors. I hope you all enjoy your day! The weekend is here!! Thanks for stopping by!
