Cheating ... maybe?

I am finally catching up on my challenges.  This card is for ColourQ and Freshly Made Sketches.
I knew I had paper, with most of the colors for the challenge on it, so I was able to pull in all of the colors, except for the burgundy.  These colors are WAY out of my comfort zone.  It feels a little like cheating, since I did not figure out how to get all of the colors on the card without the patterned paper. I also had so much fun with the glitter die cut accent earlier today, that I am entering one more card into this week's Make it Monday with Heather.

 


 
I usually rotate the sketch, and did again this week.  I also made it into a standard 4 1/4 by 5 1/2.
