A couple of friends recently got into blogging and seem to be taking part in lots of sketches and colour challenges. (Hi Donna and Sandra!!). So I promised myself I would have a go at it as soon as I got the launch and the SAS done. So yesterday I did just that. I did my first colour challenge. It certainly was a challenge. I decided to try the Curtain Call Color Challenge found here: http://stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/
I didn't look at any of the other cards that people had made before I did mine so that I wouldn't be influenced. I found it a real struggle using the colours, but then once I had finished and I did look at everyone elses I thought how good their cards looked. Why didn't I think of doing that? Whenever I looked at the colours they seemed so dull and I couldn't work out how to incorporate the Tempting Turquoise. I have to admit I hadn't noticed the Whisper White as one of the colours so there isn't much of that in my card as I wasn't sure about using it, I just used it to stamp the other colour onto. Oh well, not a bad card really, just not the colours I would usually use :)
Thank You for looking.

I think you should submit to color challenges more often, this card is beautiful! I often forget about tearing, it is such a pretty effect.
