First Card For Summer Card Camp!

Hello Everyone!  I just completed my first card for Jennifer and Kristina's Online Summer Card Camp and....it was a little more difficult than I had thought it would be.  Don't get me wrong....I had fun creating it and when I saw the color palette I thought "No Problemo"....I mean, I tend towards using lots of colors on my cards anyways...But, this sure wasn't a color combo that would have jumped out at me and really, I think that might be the point of the class.  To stretch our comfort levels when it comes to working with ink and paper.  I usually have no where near the free time to craft that I want to have so when I do have time I go right for my tried and true colors, sketches, and sometimes even the same stamps.  I mean, I know that those choices "work" for me so why not turn to them? Right? Wrong!  Doing that, doing the same ole' same ole' makes me stale.....makes my cards, scrapbook layouts stale....so, that is why I signed up for this class....to streeeeeetttttch my abilities outside of my usual comfort zone.  And, here is my Day 1, purple, pink, blue, orange and white card!

                                                                      

                                                    

The flower image is Penny Black #4160 Cheerful as well as a Penny Black sentiment.  The background script is Tim Holtz and the die is the largest diamond in the Spellbinder's classic diamond nesties.  Thank you for stopping by and see you tomorrow with another card from class!

Be well,
Sheila
