Our challenge this week was a color challenge. The colors were: More Mustard, Ruby Red, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip. I began by thinking fall leaves and then went in a different direction!
I was inspired by the layout on page 120 of the new catty. I made it my own but that's how I got my start and the basics of this card. Another inspiration was the way Margaret Raburn used the Boho Background on her card for our shoebox swap in SLC. Using these ideas with the color combination completed this card!
Another element was adding the Ruby Red Taffeta Ribbon...OH WAIT!!! SU doesn't make this ribbon...I did!!! I used the Vanilla Taffeta ribbon and my ruby red stamp pad to dye the ribbon to match my card!
Thanks for looking and check out what the other participants are up to with this challenge!

GREAT! Wonderful card Lisa. I love this set, and in fact, just used part of it for a swap I'm in. Your card is truly lovely!
Aren't you the clever one dyeing your ribbon! I love every thing about this card Lisa. Beautiful as always!
I love this Lisa! I will certainly be trying this layout! It is perfect for this set (one that I just had to have and unfortunately, seldom use)! The ribbon turned out great too! :D
Love the layout Lisa, and the ruby red dyed ribbon with the olive pierced paper behind it is a great touch!
Boy you really had lots of inspiration for this card - and it came out great! Love the strip under your hand dyed ribbon too!
Great idea to dye the ribbon - now why didn't I think of that!! I love the simplicity of this card, reminds me of why I should do this more often!
