Papertrey Chicks Color Challenge #1

Yesterday was our very first challenge at the Papertrey Chicks Blog. And a challenge it was!! I am not used to using so many colors on one card.





It's was also Mojo Monday yesterday and I thought I would combine the challenges and see what I could come up with.

This card started out completely different from what you see here. But I was able to take another idea that I had and make another card. I'll post that one tomorrow. Both cards are for good friends of mine. So often I make these cards and then they just sit in a box for months and months. My insecurities hold me back from actually mailing them off. But I'm trying to get over it.








I flipped the sketch on it's side because it wasn't working the other way for what I had in mind. I was really surprised that I was able to incorporate all of the colors. I was able to tie this bow thanks to Betsy Veldman  and Dawn McVey's videos the other day. I hope my recipient likes this card. Tomorrow I'll have the other one posted. And maybe, just maybe if this little puppy at my ankles allows me, I'll have yet another card that I have in the works posted. Thanks for stopping by!!
