Whew...this color combo was quite the challenge! We had to use So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, and Real Red- together! I love these colors, but was having a hard time envisioning them all together.
I started with the red and saffron and then figured out how to work in the turquoise. I used my cuttlebug on all of the saffron panels (except for the sentiment piece), to add some depth and texture. On the large and left and saffron panels, I also stamped the flourish from Baroque motifs in Tempting Turquoise. I stamped the image off twice before stamping on the saffron cs. On the scalloped panel I stamped the main image in turquoise. I put a yellow rhinestine brad in the center of the main image, and silver brads in the corners of the large red mat and the long saffron panel. I added red and turquoise ribbon for some more texture. The panel on the left side is up on 3D mini pop dots, as are the saffron sentiment piece and the main image saffron scalloped circle.
Now that this is finished, I am really pleased with these colors together! Thanks for looking and I hope you like it too!

Love all the texture of the cb, and your sponging! Great layout and love the brads - I agree - initially I too was perplexed as to how this colour combo was going to work! Great job on a lovely card!
