This is my second post...it's just a short
scroll down for embossing with CAS-ual Fridays.
I think that the colors at this week's colourQ challenge are about the strangest group of colors that I have ever seen. Who puts Cameo with Burgundy or, even worse, Starfruit with Saffron? Admittedly, the blouse in the photo is cute...but this is still a seriously odd combination. (Sorry, Arielle!!!)
But somehow it still got my creative juices flowing. I saw a beautiful sentiment in the burgundy, surrounded by simple flowers or silhouettes. I checked out the sketch from splitcoaststampers and thought it could all work - as long as I kept a lot of white to offset the colors!!
I like it! Thank you to colourQ for the challenge!!
