I have been a long time follower of Kristina’s Colour Inspiration Challenges, but have never entered them… until now! What better time to start than with her Challenge #50 – and with a number of fantastic prizes up for offer as well!
These bold bright colours together were definitely out of my comfort zone, but I tried to make them work for me. The colours made me think of a brightly coloured child’s birthday card. I struggled with not having supplies (especially embellishments) in many of the colours, but managed to make do with what I had and create new things – like my circle frame!! I decided I wanted a circle frame, but without any circle cutting tools, I had to resort to tracing around some jars and careful cutting them out freehand! Hopefully they don’t look too rough!
The birthday cake and flowers are all propped up with Dimensionals and then I added a little half pearl to the middle of each flower to give it a little extra!
Hope you like it! Feel free to let me know what you think!

You’ve done a good job with the colours, Michelle. The circle looks good and draws the eye in to the cake. You’re sooo crreative!
hi Michelle what a cute card. The colors were so difficult for me to use I gave up and made a purse for the challenge instead LOL Have a great day Hugs~Donna
Great card. I really like the circle accent. Fabulous job on the color combo.
It’s a good life!
