Priscillastyles Rose

I tried something a little off the wall, today. I used the elegant image from the 'Victorian Rose Fan Set' by Priscillastyles, along with the color challenge over at the Play Date Cafe making this a BOLD card.

Now, the image is one that Priscilla is giving to her group members at Crafter's Digital Art Center. We are 300 strong!!! If you like it and are interested in digi stamps, head on over, join CDAC and then join Priscillastyles group. Very simple, but please follow Priscilla's request:
(We would love for you to join our group, so please only grab
 the above freebie if you are a group member. "Honor system is in play" :)Now, color...
Time to shake things up a bit and
get really creative!  Are you ready?
It's the first...
'colour horribilis' challenge! Colors that we don't think will go together.
[[I agree with Sarah Anderson, and Penny Bearcroft, that you can combine any colors, just pay attention to tone, shade, and finish.]] Read their thought HERE
Sarah's combo challenge for the week:
navy blue, hot pink and mustard yellow    


I added a lot of pearls and bent the leaves up for some elegance and definition. I also used a black glaze pen to outline various areas of the image.

Let me know what you think of my card today!

The pearls look fab, and I love your stripes, a great way to combine these colours effectively :) These colours have really made this week's play date the biggest challenge yet I think! :)
