Colour inspiration #37

Being a new year I'd love to report that I'm raring to go, reinvigorated and enthused. This is not the case in general (perhaps the Perth heat is slowing me down!), except I am happy to say, with stamping & card making where I am enjoying a kind of new start after a Christmas break & in particular am enjoying Kristina's challenges again.

Here is my card for this week (using soft sky in place of baja breeze which hasn't arrived here yet):

Stamp sets: I used petal prints as a challenge to myself & in honour of what was my first favourite SU! stamp set when I joined over 2 years ago, and one that I now never use. I don't expect it to make the new catalogue, so decided to make the most of it in case it goes. The other sets are short & sweet (?? Kristina's writing, which I love) polka dot background and define your life. Card/ink: pumpkin pie, soft sky, chocolate chip, old olive, whisper white. Other: chocolate chip grosgrain, scallop punch, corner rounder punch, earth element buttons, paper piercer & mat pack, scallop circle punch.

And this is Kristina's colour inspiration photo:

Thanks for looking!
