This is a bit of a diversion for me ... nice and clean with bold colours! I tend not to pair these types of colours with white because I generally find it stark when I do it. I love other people's cards doing that, just not mine :) Anyways, this one turned out interestingly ... I started with the sketch from Clean & Simple, as they generally have the best ideas for layouts of fabulously clean and simple (yet not simple time-wise) cards. This week's Tuesday Trigger was a shot of a lamp with a white lampshade that had red trim on the bottom and a big yellow ribbon tied around the middle. Behind the lamp was a mirror frame edged in dark brown wood. So, that's where my colours came from and I tried to keep the same sort of level of colour too. Did I succeed?

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you like the card!
