KW Colour Inspiration #23

This weeks challenge from Kristina uses Bravo Burgundy again but this time I found it much easier to work with. In part I think it is the other colours in the combination, but perhaps having to use it last week has helped me warm up to it a little more. After pulling out my swatches, and thinking about how Kristina had described the colours as "autumn-y" and I wasn't in the mood to make an autumn card, I started off with the Touch of Nature butterfly. Not liking how that came out I switched to the Touch of Nature flower and it wasn't until much later that I looked at the inspiration photo again and remembered that it had flowers in it too! Often I am consciously inspired by the subject of the colour challenges, but this week I seem to have immediately put it out of my mind and yet still came back to it.

The proportions of this card were going to be a little different before I forgot the old adage "measure twice, cut once" and stuffed up one stem piece and so deferred to this one. I had also intended for the central piece to be layered on Old Olive but it did not look right in any way, so I've ended up with a high contrast card but I am quite happy with how it has turned out.
