Colour Q Challenge #56


The newest Colour Q Challenge went live today. The colours weren't really my cup of tea, but I gave it a whirl anyway.... To be completely honest, I cringed and thought, "More Halloween Colours....!" So, out came the thinking cap....
I started with some Garden Green card, layered it with Certainly Celery, which was run through The Big Shot, using the Polka Dots Embossing Folder, then I wrapped some retired Rich Razzleberry Ribbon around the embossed piece and moved on to my main image. I actually made the base of the card with no idea what was going to be my focal image... I dug through my stamps, and came up with the set Party This Way. I love love love the candle in this set, I think it looks great done in different colours in a line, like in the card I made last week... So, I stamped that in Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie and the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz, as I have yet to purchase Celery... I then played with the positioning, and decided it was too flat with just the white on the Celery.... So, I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie card the tiniest bit bigger than the white, and layered it on the card front. 
So, this is my very non-Halloween card...
