I've finally sat down and had some card-making "playtime". I received my
Magnolia Stamp Club shipment just prior to Christmas and I so LOVE the 2011
You are so special Collection!!.... just haven't found the time to to play with them. I also had a lovely parcel of new Copic colours arrive from
Mad for Markers at about the same time and both have sat on my desk - until today. I decided to move away from my usual colour palette of "Pink & Green"
( and yes it was struggle !!) and the current colour challenge at
http://magnolia-liciouschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ was just the inspiration I needed. This is the photograph the colours of the challenge were taken from....
and this is the first of the two cards I made

I am so NOT an "orange" kinda girl - but I'm rather pleased with the way these cards turned out....maybe I need to experiment with colour a bit more :)

Very beautiful cards! : )
You say you are not an "orange girl" but your cards are gorgeous! I just love the color palette. The colors are warm and bright at the same time. Such a delightful choice of color palette both in coloring and papers. Great matching flowers too.
I'll be glad to come back see more of your beautiful creations!
