This card inspired me to use the most colours I have probably ever used on any one card. I started with the focal element - decorative paper on a burgundy layer. I found the peach paper next and added a little strip of yellow on the bottom (it coordinates better than it appears on this photo) which I cut with deckle decorative scissors and then paper pierced with my pattern tracing wheel. I added the burgundy ribbon next and adhered my background to my green card. I auditioned my focal element and was inspired to add an aqua flower with a silver brad and then two hand cut green leaves. That was enough, I adhered my layered focal element to my card front using 3D foam tape. It is much easier to combine colours if you have something in your design to guide you as in the piece of decorative paper for this card. It is similar to decorating a room using a piece of art - if the piece of art works so will the room!! Therese
