This is the second card I came up with for Kristina's Colour Challenge. Scroll down to see the first! I find it hard to photograph Old Olive...it always seems to turn really Kermit-the-frog green. So, you'll just have to imagine this card more olive-y. I borrowed the layout from the US catalogue (page 137).I made the curve freehand with the Cutter Kit, and glued circles behind it for a scalloped edge. The Pumpkin Pie flower is from Blooms Die-cuts, and the So Saffron Flower has been stamped with "In the Spotlight" (in So Saffron ink) and punched out with the 5-petal flower. I highlighted the dots with my White gel pen. The flower centres are also from "In the Spotlight", and I've also used the Boho Blossoms punched and co-ordinating "One of a Kind" stamp set. The word 'hello' is a rub-on. I've used a strip of Bravo Burgundy cardstock and some Pumpkin Pie ribbon to balance the left hand side of the card. I used more rub-ons on the cardstock, and a piece of Striped Pumpkin ribbon to jazz it up a bit. I then lined the inside of the card with Prints Patterned paper to cover up the mechanics!

Wow! That's a great card! I'm amazed at all the different elements on the card and they all look great together! I won't be surprised if we see this one again on Kristina's blog :-)
