Ok so I will admit straight away - this week's colours scared me a little!! See what I mean...
The Bold Brights family is one that I've never felt overly comfortable with so these colours pushed me waaay out of my comfort zone! I copped out a little and added a TONNE of white - kinda case-ing Silke's lovely cards (although not being anywhere near as successful!!). Here's what I ended up with:
I combined the colours with this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge - lots of layers to play with! The main image is from Fast & Fun Notes, which I embossed with black embossing powder on watercolour paper then coloured with reinkers and an aquapainter - lots of fun! The butterfly panels were stamped with All a Flutter (from the new mini catty!) with Yoyo Yellow ink. The white background was scored on the diagonal to create a diamond pattern.
Check out what the other Curtain Call girls have created with this week's colours:

Thanks for stopping by today!

I think most of us had the same reaction when we saw these colours LOL! I know I did :D Love how you used this week's Mojo sketch with the colours. The scoring on the BG panel is great as are all the details on the card. Well done!
This is so pretty! I love the yellow butterfly paper! Great job with the colors!
