Color SPLASH!

Another challenge? Eek!



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:

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