Oh happy day! I'm feel so lucky to be a guest designer at The Card Concept. Have you played there yet? They offer up a photo inspiration and lots of samples from designers with all sorts of different styles from clean and simple, shabby chic, classy and elegant to mixed media. I love to play there but have a hard time pinning down my style because I like to try different things. When I was asked to guest in the Freestyle Collage I knew just what to do - layer it on thick! LOL!! Then I saw the photo and my heart sank. Why you ask? Ohhh.. .all those neutral colors!!! I love bright, bold, beautiful color and went into panic mode!!!! I immediately started flipping through all my paper collections and found some wood grain and beige papers. Soon it was like.. hmmmm.... these look really nice together! Now I'm a believer!!! I'm happy that I didn't give up! Lesson learned.. be open minded!
I can't wait to see how the photo inspired you! You can link up your design and see all the design team projects here at The Card Concept!

Really beautiful card!
Once again, Jeanne, this should not be a card, it should be a wall hanging! It is too utterly gorgeous to be put in a drawer!! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
LOLOL...but you did it!!! You made neutrals totally work for you and this card is spot on inspired by the photo. I love your layering concepts. I would have debated that combo for forever and that would have been a mistake because it's fabulous together! Job well done Jeanne :)
What an amazing card, I just love all the details and layers. It's gorgeous!!!
Wow! I'm usually loving the bright colors too, but this is so gorgeous!! You done good!

Beautiful card! I know how much you love color, but people who are good with color can make beautiful projects with any palette, as you've done here! Just fantastic!
Congrats on your GD spot. Love this card as it is totally 'Jeanne' with all the layers and textures, but you have shown your versatility by using all those pretty muted colors.
