Kwerner Color Inspiration Challenge 55

Morning all - it's a drizzly Saturday morning here in CA. So, in the midst of my chores this morning, I found time to create a card for Kristina's Color Challenge 55. When I first saw the colors, I have to say that I wasn't really sure what to do - it's definitely a new color scheme for me. Then after I did some blog browsing this morning, I was inspired by the card design from Mary Fish's Father's Day card on her blog today. I liked the look of the tiled squares, so I thought I'd give it a try. First, let me show you what the colors are for Kristina's challenge this week:Here's my full card:
I experimented with scrunching up the ribbon - I wasn't sure how that was gonna come out, but I think I do like it afterall! I used a piece of sticky strip and put that on the card, then just applied the ribbon on top, scrunching it along as I went across. I was surprised at how well the sticky strip held the ribbon. That's some good adhesive. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the card and my attempt at this new color scheme. I like it with the In Colors! What do you think?

Here's the recipe:
*Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die
*Razzle Dazzle and Oval all stamp sets
*Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry textured cardstock and markers; Very Vanilla and Basic Gray cardstock
*Basic Gray taffeta ribbon and corduroy brads; very vanilla brad
*1 1/4" square, scallop oval and large oval punches
