Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challege #15 of Chocolate Chip, Close To
Cocoa, Really Rust, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White was just that ... CHALLENGING (for me, anyway!). I tried to use other stamps sets and just couldn't get anything to work. Then, I did it AGAIN ... pulled out Bud Basics! I combined this color inspiration with Jessie's (knightrone on SCS) sketch on Great Swaps Girls (GSGC11).I almost didn't post this card, as it did not turn out like I had planned ... some days you got it, some days you don't! I think everything is pretty self-explanatory on this card, but wanted to point out that those are non-SU Dew Drops in the flower centers.

I'm with you girlfrined, I don't want to kiss Bud Basics good bye. Love the card, you are crazy, I think it's beautiful!! I'm glad you posted!
Lovely, lovely! Guess I need to pull this set out one more time before it's gone!

Nancy this card is just beautiful. I love the colors. Bud Basics is also my very favorite stamp set of all times and I love the matching jumbo wheel too. Cards always turn out perfect when you use it! I'm going to miss it when it is gone but I will keep mine for personal use of course!
Thanks for all of your lovely inspirational samples. Karen

Wow....I'm a frequent lurker of your blog....I jump over from a link from Nancy Morgan's blog.
I had to say....WOW! I'm so glad you posted this. You made great use of the sketch and the colors. I'm glad you posted it!! I love how you did the piercing...very classy!!
Seriously? You almost didn't post this! I think I've loved every card I've seen with this color combo. Plus, you used Bud Basic. Can't go wrong there. I love this card!
Love this card, Nancy! You are on a roll with Bud Basics!! Just beautiful!!
Your bud basics set has been getting quite the workout lately. I'm a little disappointed that it's retiring after all of your beautiful designs this week!
