I was trying to get my brain wrapped around the Embellish Brads Color Challenge with all the bright colors and how I wanted to tackle it, and in all reality I had no idea what to do. This is one of the reasons why I stayed away from challenges in the past. *sigh* What to do?
I had the brads. So that wasn't the problem. But what could I do that would set myself apart from anyone else using the brads AND the colors within the brads and the constraints of the challenge. Hmmm...
I spent some time looking at my stamps, looking at my inks, looking at current trends and then I just started to play. What I finally came up with is a card I actually LOVE!! I have to say that even if this card doesn't do anything for anyone else I just love it. I am so happy with how it turned out. And I don't say that about my own stuff very often...for those of you who know me, you can vouch for this!
I hope that you'll at least like it, too:

and a close-up of the sentiment (Why? Just because I felt like it!! Hahhahaha!)

Ohhhh, that's pretty! I like what you did with the brads a lot! You gotta show me how to use inks like that!

Great use of brads - as corner accents! So glad you took on this challenge!
