Hot Pink, Orange and Purple

Sounds like a crazy bunch of colors, doesn't it? I guess that is why we call these "challenges!"

Creative Inspirations posted this challenge, and my initial reaction, before I saw the DT cards, was"WHAT?!" Take one look at the ideas they present, and you want to try it out for yourself, just like I did!

I went looking through my stash of papers, and I found one that had those colors! Who knew!
It even had gold glitter dots on it, and yesterday I had made 3 little wire flowers with a gold tone wire--appears to be a match made in heaven!

I colored Tilda with my Prismacolor pencils because I don't have Copics in the right colors.

Here is what I used:

Berry Tilda--Magnolia-licious
Italian Poetry Background Stamp--Hero Arts
Ribbon--JoAnn Fabrics
DCWV "Once Upon a Time" cardstock
Bazzill Basics purple cardstock
SU! cardstock in Only Orange and Pink Passion
MS Scalloped Eyelet punch

For the layout, I used a card from the latest Magnolia Ink Magazine,
Midsummer's Night Dream, page 43--
"Summer Blooms" by Mary

Take a peek inside...
It is hard to tell, but those purple flowers are punched with
a MS dual punch, "Dahlia" and then cut out from the cardstock.

Thinking outside of the box can make for some very beautiful cards!
