The challenge on flaxychick's blog was to find a magazine ad and make a card using the ad as inspiration. I picked that ad because I liked the colours and burnished glow of the bike frame.
For my card I went with similar colours and the geometric feel to the ad layout. I liked the Au Chocolat paper for that reason and I brayered it with Marigold Morning and Pumpkin Pie to get the colours. It still wasn't quite right so I brushed on some Orange Peel twinklings and it got that nice sheen like the add. I also added some choc chip IBB splatters for a bit of "mud". What card would be complete without ribbon so I added some mustard gg and my bottle of zest, I mean my stamped sentiment. Not sure if this is worthy of posting in a DD's blog but hey, I'm gonna anyway! I love challenges and this was a fun one.

This is really great!! I love cool splash of color against the warm background - and the colors match up perfectly with the inspiration ad! Great job on the challenge! I'm gonna post a link on my blog in the next few days. Thanks for playing along.!
