I am almost embarrassed at how many cards I have made with these colors from the Color Throwdown challenge this week. Funny thing is that I don't really like them so much. Perhaps that's where the challenge was for me. This particular card is the last one I did last night and finished this morning. I do like the juxtaposition of the colored flowers and the orange leaves. I've done this on a couple of cards in the color scheme. I had originally placed an orange background behind the arrangement, but it looked so harsh I couldn't stand it. As per my mode of usual operation I opted for a white background piece. It seems to set off the lovely flowers in a striking way.
I have two more challenges to add this card to: Freshly Made Sketches and Fusion, check 'em out to see what the requirements were.
Details to come - I'm not at home while blogging.... :)
Kindness matters,
Alicia
I love your thought process on the colors. I try to add color and I almost always go back to a fresh white background! The flowers are lovely - and work very well with the colors. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
