Color Inspiration Challenge #55

What a wonderful day. I hope everyone enjoyed their Father's Day. We had a fun filled day on the boat, and then docked at a local resturant for dinner. Lot's of fun!

On to Color Inspiration Challeng #55.

I actually made this night last, but for some reason our internet access was down all morning. So I'm posting now. This card came together very quickly once I figured out what I wanted to do. I got to ink up the new SU! stamp set Circle Circus, available July 1st. I really like this set. I saw the stamp set used in the Stampin' Success mag and I think they were supposed to look like flowers, and I thought...hmmm....why not trees. I love how it turned out. Also, I cut a custom sized scallop rectangle. A neat trick was also featured in the mag about how to turn corners with the lace edge punch, and I just had to see if it worked for the scallop edge punch as well. And with a little trial and error, it did! The colors used were SU!'s More Mustard, Basic Gray, Really Rust, and Very Vanilla. For some reason I had the hardest time photographing this card, the colors just wouldn't capture correctly. No amount of post-editing was working. Oh well, hope you enjoy!
