you're a hoot *** quand le hibou fait ooo-ooo-ooo



Today, I will keep the details brief. I am a sick puppy :-( Been fighting with a cold and fever. BUT...!!! I wanted to participate into Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #3 challenge. The colors we had to use are (SU names): Orchid Opulence, Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Simply Black and Whisper White. I also used the Card Positioning System Sketch #57 for inspiration.

So here's my card. It was put together literally in 15 minutes which is a huge feat for me! Let me know what you think about it!

Aujourd'hui, je m'en tiens au strick minimum puisque je combat une rhume et la fièvre. Mais il y a toujours quelques chose pour égayer nos journées... pour moi ce fut le défi que Kristina Werner nous a lancé. Son défi de couleur #3. Les couleurs à utiliser (dans le language SU) sont Opulence orchidée, Rose rouge, Tarte au potiron, Simplement noir et Murmure blanc. Je me suis également servi du sketch #57 qui vient du site Card Positioning System. J'ai assemblé cette carte en 15 minutes... un grosse conquête pour moi! Voici ce que ça donné pour moi. J'espère que vous aimez!
