Hello,

This weeks colour challenge from Makeesha are great earthy tones, which actually made me stop and think how I would go using these colours. I decided on versatile card that could be given to a male or a female.

Here is the colour combo:

Here is my card:

I chose to do the emboss resist technique on this card and using the challenge colours to cover the image and then just matting and layering the stamped image in the same colours. I really had’nt any idea of how the layout of the card was going to turn out and after fussing about with it, I’m quite happy with the result.

Thanks for looking!!
