...{...Color Cue {10} Challenge...}...

I thought this challenge would be much easier for me as I LOVE red/purple color combo during the winter months.  And yet, I struggled.  I think it is because I'm not overly fond of Paptertrey Ink's Plum Pudding color, which is the cardstock I used.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE most everything Papertrey Ink, but I do wish they had a broader color selection.  Like I would love a richer, darker purple!  And OH, if they had a wonderful LIGHT GRAY, that would be HEAVENLY (I'm looking for the perfect shade of light gray cardstock)...oh my, I digress...  Once I finished the card, I was much happier than when I started laying it all out.  I think I've been trying to go w/ more simplified versions lately, and I am a girl who LOVES details and all the extra goodies.  For me, once I put the buttons on the card, I was smiling ;-)
